Shadows are like plants. They need sunlight simply to exist.
There are no shadows in the dark. Shadows are the servants of light, the children of fire. The brightest flame casts the darkest shadows.
Shadows are friends to men in black.
"The true moment of shadow is the moment in which you see the point of light in the sky. The single point, and the Shadow that has just gathered you in its sweep ..." Now —
The worthy gentleman [Mr. Coombe], who has been snatched from us at the moment of the election, and in the middle of the contest, while his desires were as warm, and his hopes as eager as ours, has feelingly told us, what shadows we are, and what shadows we pursue.
Thus shadow owes its birth to light.
Follow a shadow, it still flies you;Seem to fly it, it will pursue.
The picture of a shadow is a positive thing.
Alas! must it ever be so?And fight our own shadows forever?
Shadows are in reality, when the sun is shining, the most conspicuous thing in a landscape, next to the highest lights.
Come like shadows, so depart!
Some there be that shadows kiss;Such have but a shadow's bliss.
Shadows to-nightArmed in proof, and led by shallow Richmond.
Chequer'd shadow.
If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended...
Like Hezekiah's, backward runs The shadow of my days.
