     the light - those are the more luminous which are more turned
     towards it  . and the less luminous which receive it {more} obliquely
     And the degree of light is in exact proportion to the greatness
     of the angle at which it meets the {planes of the .} object    And the space
 5   of any object which is thus indirectly turned towards the light.
     whether more or less. (and there is every degree of luminousness
     in it) is generally called by artists .   The Half light.
     That part of an object which is turned away from the light.
     whether more or less is, as far as the direct light is concerned
10   equal <in it> everywhere in its degree of shade . and is      		
     called by artists . The Dark side .
     That part of an object from which the light is intercepted
     by some intermediate object - whether a part of itself. or of any
     other object .  is the darkest part of any object . and is called
15   by artists .  The Shadow.
     Be so kind . on the first bright sunny day after you have
     read this . as to look for a white   -                cottage. on one side of
     which the sun falls as directly as may be - <but> {so as} yet {to} get<ting> slightly
     and obliquely at another side .  On the high light you will find
20   that you cannot see the projecting granulation.  but with oblique light
