Quote by Thomas Traherne

This moment exhibits infinite space, but there is a space also wherein all moments are infinitely exhibited, and the everlasting duration of infinite space is another region and room of joys.

Summary

This quote suggests the existence of two types of spaces: the physical space that contains this current moment, and a metaphysical space that encompasses all moments. The physical space is characterized as infinite and expansive, allowing for the potential of boundless experiences. However, there is also a timeless metaphysical space where all moments in history are continuously displayed.
