But that is what islands are for; they are places where different destinies can meet and intersect in the full isolation of time.
Islands serve as unique spaces where diverse paths and futures come together amidst a sense of seclusion. They symbolize a meeting point for different destinies, allowing for moments of intersection in complete isolation from the broader world.
According to Lawrence Durrell in Bitter Lemons of Cyprus, "But that is what islands are for; they are places where different destinies can meet and intersect in the full isolation of time." This highlights the island's role as a tranquil yet dynamic space for encounters and convergence of different lives and stories.
