The Tempest ‧ 1623
What seest thou else In the dark backward and abysm of time?
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker asks what more can be seen in the dark, receding depths of the past. Time is imagined as a deep abyss stretching backward, and the question invites someone to peer into it and say what else lies hidden there.
