There is an established distinction in the significations of 'shade' and 'shadow' <…> 'Shadow' is the obscurity made by the interception of light by an object, in the figure or shape of the object. 'Shade' is a like obscurity without reference to figure. 'Shade' is used when protection only from the rays of the sun is intended. The farmer, to cool and refresh himself, says, I will go into the 'shade' of a tree—never into the 'shadow'. Hence, when there is no reference to figure, but to protection only, the word 'shade' should always be used.
