How do you interpret "Between the idea and the reality...Falls the Shadow" ?

July 19th, 2010
The line is from T.S. Elitot’s The Hollow Men . The full stanza is:
Between the idea
And the reality
Between the motion
And the act
Falls the Shadow
I am not looking for an interpretation of the whole poem, just this part. I would give it an existential spin. The shadow represents the uncertainty that follows from making any particular choice. It seems though that this is not quite right.
