Yes, it does. The basic structure of the sentence would be boiled down to "森（もり）が影（か�'）�'自分（じぶ�"）らの頭（あたま）の上（うえ）へ 抛（な）�'か�`ていた". > I'm not seeing > "casting the forest's shadow," but more like "the shadow fell from > faraway sky." You can translate the part either way. The above English sentence is quite a literal translation. The Japanese sentece is very literary and not the kind of language ordinary people will write.
