On the deck of a stout ship sailing safely past it I should have found the scene magnificent, I doubt not; for the sun, being low with westering, shone redly, and the range of ice stood in a kind of gold atmosphere which gave an extraordinary richness to the Shadowings of its rocks and peaks, and a particular fullness of mellow whiteness to its lustrous parts, softening the dazzle into an airy tenderness of brightness, so that the whole mass shone out with the blandness visible in a glorious star.
"The Frozen Pirate"
W. Clark Russell
And the moon I found was as dependable as when I timed my Himalayan expeditions by her Shadowings.
"Edge of the Jungle"
William Beebe
Believing, in the midst of our afflictions, That death is a beginning, not an end, We cry to them, and send Farewells, that better might be called predictions, Being fore-Shadowings of the future, thrown Into the vast Unknown.
