atddta 32:AOD shadows with babies

[grladams at teleport.com]

p. 894 In the days following, they were to visit other graveyards, and the
more of Naunt's AOD's Dally had a look at, the stranger matters became.
There were perverse intentions at work here, procreative as much as mortal.
In the complicated drapery of the AOD's garment, at certain times of day,
beneath the duress of the prevailing light, one saw clearly in the shadows
of the gown the shape of an infant, or sometimes more than one, clinging to
what might have been an indifferent body. [but when] the day grew to
evening, these figures disappeared, or sometimes modulated to something
else that likewise did not invite close inspection.

...
made me think that how Dally's being painted as good girl, stand in for
everyman's daughter, potential mother figure herself, she herself sees in
the art something she unconsiously projects?
