OF THE SHADOWS OF VERDURE.


The shadows of verdure are always somewhat blue, and so is every
shadow of every object; and they assume this hue more in proportion
as they are remote from the eye, and less in proportion as they are
nearer. The leaves which reflect the blue of the atmosphere always
present themselves to the eye edgewise.


OF THE ILLUMINATED PART OF VERDURE AND OF MOUNTAINS.
