It is not in the premise that reality
Is a solid. It may be a shade that traverses
A dust, a force that traverses a shade.

The body is an instrument which only gives off music when it is used as a body. Always an orchestra, and just as music traverses walls, so sensuality traverses the body and reaches up to ecstasy.

 
Anais Nin
 

Shade, unperceiv'd, so softening into shade.

 
James Thomson
 

An enormously vast field lies between “God exists” and “there is no God.” The truly wise man traverses it with great difficulty. A Russian knows one or the other of these two extremes, but is not interested in the middle ground. He usually knows nothing, or very little.

 
Anton Chekhov
 

Light is the chaser away of darkness. Shade is the obstruction of light. Primary light is that which falls on objects and causes light and shade. And derived lights are those portions of a body which are illuminated by the primary light. A primary shadow is that side of a body on which the light cannot fall.

 
Leonardo da Vinci
 

The hunter and the deer a shade.
