The horizon you chase that politely keeps walking backward as you approach.
means On or to the farther side of something, or outside the limits of what is reachable, understood, or possible.
from A faithful old English compound: 'be-' (by, about) fused with 'geond' (yonder, that-way-over-there). So 'beyond' is literally 'by yonder' — the place that is by way of yonder. 'Geond' is a cousin of 'yon' and 'yonder,' words that still point a finger at distance. The whole family traces back to a Proto-Germanic root for 'that' or 'over there,' the linguistic equivalent of squinting at the far hills.
