過去

PAST（かこ）[/pæst/]名詞

解説

永遠の一部であり、わずかな断片において我々が残念ながら知っている部分。

現在と呼ばれる移動線がそれを未来から隔てる。
過去は悲しみと失望に暗く、未来は繁栄と喜びに明るい。
だが過去は昨日の未来であり、未来は明日の過去。

結局は「知識」と「夢」という一つのもの。

付記

なし。

Original

That part of Eternity with some small fraction of which we have a slight and regrettable acquaintance. A moving line called the Present parts it from an imaginary period known as the Future. These two grand divisions of Eternity, of which the one is continually effacing the other, are entirely unlike. The one is dark with sorrow and disappointment, the other bright with prosperity and joy. The Past is the region of sobs, the Future is the realm of song. In the one crouches Memory, clad in sackcloth and ashes, mumbling penitential prayer; in the sunshine of the other Hope flies with a free wing, beckoning to temples of success and bowers of ease. Yet the Past is the Future of yesterday, the Future is the Past of to-morrow. They are one—the knowledge and the dream.
