“I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.” “My Shadow” Stanza 1. Robert Louis Stevenson [1850-1894].

From Bartlett’s Familiar Quotations by John Bartlett.
