*
The effects of the past
on the present can be recognised
in the unconscious persistence
of our earliest psychological impressions.
*
And if the future enters into us
long before it happens, as is sometimes
supposed, then it too must also be in part present.
*
The past is not a dead thing fit only to be shunned,
nor the future an empty void awaiting fulfilment.
*
The past and present contain consequences
which both reflect and project.
*
And if the event in time be circular,
rather than linear, then we can
also add the future to this equation.
