    Default Which is the correct one?

    Which one of the following is the correct one?

    1- A candle sheds a dim light on an open book.

    2- A candle sheds a dim light to an open book.

    3- A candle sheds a dim light upon an open book.

    4- A candle sheds a dim light toward an open book.

    As you can see here my concern is the preposition...

    Thanks for your help.

    The first and third are the least unnatural.
