William Shakespeare, F. Scott

Tempus fugit’ / “Time flies”— Virgil, Georgics

I am sure every single one of you has heard this short phrase often but few will know where it originates. This short, brief but mighty Latin phrase above comes from the Georgics by Virgil (70 BCE–19 BCE). Publius Vergilius Maro (Vergil) was a classical Roman poet, best known for three major works — the Bucolics (or Eclogues), the Georgics, and the Aeneid — although several minor poems are also attributed to him. The Aeneid was Rome’s national epic.

However, although the Latin phrase does come from the Georgics— line 284 of Book 3 — it is not translated in that particular form. It reads as,

‘fugit inreparabile tempus’ / “it escapes irretrievable time”

But what’s the ‘it’ this original line of Virgil refers to? What is the ‘it’ that is escaping even ‘time’?

Life? But life cannot escape time. Our short human temporality is brief,

“Out out brief candle!Life’s but a walking shadow, a poor playerThat struts and frets his hour upon the stageAnd then is heard no more. It is a taleTold by an idiot, full of sound and fury,Signifying nothing.”
