past reflected future

where the past was reflected/as well as the future (3.XXV.iii).

A vision of the future is a reference to Aeneid 6:910-1218, re-enforcing the idea that reconnecting with earlier generations gives knowledge and understanding. The vision of the past here is an addition by Walcott, but suited to this epic because Achille's real need is to understand his past, not his future.
