In the Cycle o( Time there are but three spans. From one end rolls away Yesterday: an infinite recession lost to us except in man-made monuments, and as a state of mind which names it good or ill; from the other end comes in Tomorrow: an unfathomable mystery, in spite of solemn claims to the contrary; and in the middle runs Today: man’s only opportunity of keeping his rendezvous with Destiny. That destiny we can no more chain irrevocably to the anchor of the first span—which is history, than we can wager our souls upon the infallibility of the last, which is the future. For, if our past be glorious, we cannot therefore rest our case upon it; and, if it be dismal, we cannot draw greatness therefrom. As for the future, it is joined to Now, and yet, outward from the very point of union, is unknown, unseen, unheard, unfelt, in spite of star-gazing and crystals and prisms. Thus, the past is practically dead, the future still unborn; with the present alone, alive; and thought and action its sole linkage with both the past and future. Therefore, in this matter we prove our intelligence and education, not by making a fetish out of yesterday, but only by laying imperishable foundations for a beneficent tomorrow upon the actualities of a vital today.
