Innocence of the gaze directed forward, into the future, toward the world to come, is innocence of  blindness for what is obvious - the fact of mortality. Glorious future is possible only if we do not see it. The same apply to the glorious past. Yet possibility of present moment depends on the indeterminacy of knowledge of both past and future.  So what happen if we are in our “future gaze” confronted with the “past document”? What kind of circuit is created by a deference of what we will (not) see into what is already seen? I have a feeling that meaning of future greatness is readable only through the documents of what is made to be a past.
