you touching m will touch the eye of the other man which shall be  
open. And if you touch the eye of the other man in the mirror it

OF THE SHADOW AND ITS MOTION.  
When two bodies casting shadows, and one in front of the other, are  
between a window and the wall with some space between them, the  
shadow of the body which is nearest to the plane of the wall will  
move if the body nearest to the window is put in transverse motion  
across the window. To prove this let a and b be two bodies  
placed between the window n m and the plane surface o p with  
sufficient space between them as shown by the space a b. I say  
that if the body a is moved towards s the shadow of the body b  
which is at c will move towards d.
