Shadow is the diminution of light by the intervention of an opaque
body. Shadow is the counterpart of the luminous rays which are cut
off by an opaque body.
This is proved because the shadow cast is the same in shape and size
as the luminous rays were which are transformed into a shadow.

Shadow is the diminution alike of light and of darkness, and stands
between darkness and light.
A shadow may be infinitely dark, and also of infinite degrees of
absence of darkness.
The beginnings and ends of shadow lie between the light and darkness
and may be infinitely diminished and infinitely increased. Shadow is
the means by which bodies display their form.
The forms of bodies could not be understood in detail but for
shadow.
