This is were I have always been coming to. Since my time began. And when I go away from here, this will be the midpoint, to which everything ran, before and from which everything will run. But now, my love, we are here, we are now, and those other times are running elsewhere.
In the quoted passage from A.S. Byatt's "Possession," the speaker reflects on a profound sense of time and place. They describe their current location as a central point in their life's journey, signifying a moment that connects the past and the future. This emphasis on a midpoint illustrates the importance of being present while acknowledging the influence of past experiences.
The speaker also expresses a deep emotional bond with their love, highlighting the significance of the present moment. While other times and places exist and continue to evolve, the focus remains on the here and now, underscoring the idea that connection and love thrive in the present amidst the flow of time.
