I don't understand the 1942 citation. Is it correct? Equinox 18:00, 13 June 2019 (UTC)Reply

  • Yeah, she's looking at a picture which shows an Annunciation scene. In the picture, the artist has drawn a roof-structure nearby, and the shadow it makes forms a cross-shape on the ground between the angel and Mary. At least, that's what I understand from the quote.

Ah, I get it now. Something about that "throw" confused me syntactically. Equinox 09:04, 14 June 2019 (UTC)Reply
