Past and Future

“The past does not only draw us back to the past. There are certain memories of the past that have strong steel springs and, when we who live in the present touch them, they are suddenly stretched taut and then they propel us into the future.” 

-Yukio Mishima

Essentially a poetic description of the Neoreactionary project of necromantic history - raising long-dead ideas and concepts for application to the present. The future becomes a permutation and combination of the then and the now
