A truer image of the world, I think, is obtained by picturing things as entering into the stream of time from an eternal world outside, than from a view which regards time as the devouring tyrant of all that is.

Summary

This quote suggests that a more accurate understanding of the world is achieved by imagining that things originate from an eternal realm beyond time rather than perceiving time as a destructive force that consumes everything. It implies a perspective that acknowledges a greater existence outside the constraints of time, and emphasizes the idea that there is a transcendental and timeless dimension from which all things emerge and flow into the present moment.
