The wings are my shadow!

"In ancient times there was a custom, he explained: When two strangers met for the first time, they used to ask each other: What is your shadow, sir? (...) Sometimes they had no need to ask, because they could immediately see that shadow that was nothing more than the personality of the other: a dove sleeping on their shoulders, a star caught in their hair, flames that border their figure."
