Dark part of a picture.—A shadow is a diminution of the 
first and second light. The first light is that which proceeds 
immediately from a lightened body, as the beams of the sun. 
The second is an accidental light spreading itself into the air 
or medium proceeding from the other. Shadows are three¬ 
fold : the first is a single shadow, and the least of all: and 
is proper to the plain surface where it is not wholly possessed 
of the light. The second is the double shadow, and it is 
used when the surface begins once to forsake your eye, as in 
columns. The third shadow is made by crossing over your 
double shadow again, which darkeneth by a third part. It 
is used for the inmost shadow, and farthest from the light, 
as in gulfs, wells, and caves. Peacham. — After great 
lights there must be great shadows. Dryden. —'Any thing
