What is history? An echo of the past in the future a reflex

Summary

This quote suggests that history is a continuous cycle, where the past influences the future and the future reflects back on the past. It implies that historical events and lessons learned shape how we move forward, while also acknowledging that our outlook on the past is influenced by our present perspectives and experiences. In other words, history is not solely confined to the past but is constantly evolving as we advance and reinterpret the events that have occurred.
