Yes.
Whether Chou was referring to the 1968 events in Paris or the earlier Revolution of 1789 the words variously translated as Too Early To Tell or Too Soon To Say were uttered by him. He spoke them in 1972, about a past event. I’m using them in 2021 about a future scenario. It’s a mild literary conceit.
Perhaps I should instead have referred to 1 Corinthians 13:12 - what say you?
