Quote by Paulo Coelho

Summary

This quote appears to discuss the idea that individuals only have the present moment, which is always brief and ephemeral. It suggests that while some people may think they have a past in which they accumulate experiences or a future in which they expect to accumulate even more, in reality, the only thing we truly possess is the present. The quote also takes an abrupt turn by asking about a personal and unrelated topic, which can be seen as inappropriate and unrelated to the overall message.

the battered woman--for she wore a skirt--with her right hand exposed, her left clutching at her side, stood singing of love--love which has lasted a million years, she sang, love which prevails, and millions of years ago, her lover, who had been dead these centuries, had walked, she crooned, with her in May; but in the course of ages, long as summer days, and flaming, she remembered, with nothing but red asters, he had gone; death's enormous sickle had swept those tremendous hills, and when at last she laid her hoary and immensely aged head on the earth, now become a mere cinder of ice, she implored the Gods to lay by her side a bunch of purple heather, there on her high burial place which the last rays of the last sun caressed; for then the pageant of the universe would be over.
