The future... seems to me no unified dream but a mince pie,

Summary

This quote suggests that the future is not a single, clear vision but rather a complex mixture of different possibilities. It compares the future to a mince pie, which takes a long time to bake and never truly reaches a state of completion. This implies that the future is constantly evolving and remains uncertain, defying our ability to fully envision or predict it. It highlights the dynamic nature of the future and the ongoing process of unfolding and reshaping that it undergoes.
