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

Summary

This quote suggests that history is a continuous feedback loop between the past and the future. It implies that the events and actions of the past create echoes that resonate into the future, shaping the course of events to come. Likewise, it suggests that our understanding and interpretation of the past is affected by our knowledge and experiences from the future. In this way, history is seen as a dynamic interaction between past and future, each influencing and reflecting upon the other.
