Einstein said the arrow of time flies in only one direction. Faulkner, being from Mississippi, understood the matter differently. He said the past is never dead; it’s not even past.
And who among us, offered the chance, would not relive the day or hour in which we first knew love, or made a choice that forever altered our future, negating a life we might have had? Such chances are rarely granted.
Memory and grief prove Faulkner right enough, but Einstein knew the finality of action.
