Shadow/heraldry

Famous quotes containing the word shadow:

    “A beautiful person among the Greeks, was thought to betray by this sign some secret favor of the immortal gods; and we can pardon pride, when a woman possesses such a figure that wherever she stands, or moves, or leaves a shadow on the wall, or sits for a portrait to the artist, she confers a favor on the world.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
