Extract

Time present and time past

Are both perhaps present in time future,

And time future contained in time past.

(T. S. Eliot, Four Quartets)

The early strains of Slovene music resound with the echoes of Illyrians and Celts, peoples who once travelled across present-day Slovene territory, now peopled by Slovenes who remained here as the most westernly settled branch of Slavs.
