time's winged chariot

The phrase "time's winged chariot" refers to the concept of time swiftly passing by or the relentless and unstoppable nature of time. It originates from the poem "To His Coy Mistress" by Andrew Marvell, in which he describes time as a chariot with wings, suggesting its ability to fly quickly and bring about change. This phrase invokes the idea that time waits for no one and constantly moves forward, emphasizing the brevity and transience of life.
