"[...]words are like the shadows of things[...]"

"Perhaps we have not clearly learned that the names which signify that which comes into being are successive to the things and that nominal words are like the shadows of things, which receive form according to the movements of that which subsists in hypostasis (τῶν ὑφεστωτων)?" (CE II, GNO I, 269, 11-14, tr. Maspero, 2007, p. 104)
