Summary
Parabola's Summer 1997 issue:
The Shadow
Shadows do not show the true shapes of things. With their transparency they lie. A pole bends up the side of a building. A child becomes twenty feet long on the sidewalk. The nearness of the mountain makes the village beneath it dark all day. Shadows tell us of the sun, indicating where the light comes from, and the proximity and position of the bright things gleaming in the world. They are always a reminder of the opposite of day. --from "Sound Traces"
