That which came before me and that which comes after me have almost come together, they have almost become one thing, they have have almost been left without me.
“
Lo antes que yo y lo después que yo casi se han unido, casi son uno solo, casi se han quedado sin yo.
— Antonio Porchia
What It Means
This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Lo antes que yo y lo después que yo casi se han unido, casi son uno solo, casi se han quedado sin yo." in the context of "That which came before me and that which comes after me have almost come together, they have almost become one thing, they have have almost been left without me." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
