Quotation from: The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci

Written by: Leonardo da Vinci


120.


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.


121.


Shadow is the diminution alike of light and of darkness, and stands
between darkness and light.
