Darkness is absence of light. Shadow is diminution of light.
Poor is the pupil who does not surpass his master.
Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.
You will never have a greater or lesser dominion than that over yourself.
In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes; so with present time.
Shadow is the diminution alike of light and of darkness, and stands between darkness and light.
