We cast a shadow on something ...

We cast a shadow on something wherever we stand, and it is no good moving from place to place to save things; because the shadow always follows. Choose a place where you won\'t do harm - yes, choose a place where you won\'t do very much harm, and stand in it for all you are worth, facing the sunshine.
