The Present is a moving line that parts the past from an imaginary period known as the future. These two grand divisions of eternity, of which the one is continually effacing the other, are entirely unlike. The one is dark with sorrow and disappointment, the other bright with prosperity and joy.... Yet the past is the future of yesterday, the future is the past of to-morrow. They are one-the knowledge and the dream.
The Present is a material corporeal process consisting of what is tangible to bodies. It is a spatial relationship to the world and its objects.
