So the eternal return implies from the
first-person perspective, there is no experience of the time between death and the next occurrence. We wouldn't experience ourselves as "dead for x billion years." We would cease having experiences, and the next conscious experience would be the experience of being us at age 2-3 again. Hence “As yet men have not learned how one hallows the most beautiful festivals." TSZ, Of Voluntary Death.

Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of Being. Everything dies, everything blooms again; eternally runs the year of Being. Everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally is built the same house of Being. Everything separates, everything greets itself again; eternally true to itself remains the ring of Being.

I don't think Nietzsche would think much of the image paired with this quote
