Summary

This quote suggests that monuments play a significant role in connecting different generations.

They provide a tangible link that allows each generation to understand and relate to the experiences, values, and history of those who came before. Monuments help preserve collective memory, transmit cultural heritage, and foster a sense of continuity, ensuring that the lessons and legacies of previous generations are not forgotten and remain relevant to subsequent ones.
