In this poem, John Milton has depicted the common conception of Time as moving too fast or too slowly, according to the individual’s perception. Time is shown as an intangible entity that rules the lives of human beings but actually, it is just in the mind of the individual, but not in reality. Time is a recognized force that drives a person’s lifespan forward, bringing inevitable change in every passing moment but they should not be affected by its influence in a negative way rather look forward to changes. Milton explains that we must realize that there is only one destination in the race against Time, i.e. Death. Time devours everything in our lifetime but it too must come to an end like everything else in the universe. Time's power ends when the human soul is released from its earthly abode and is guided by Death, to the realm of the divine, where eternal bliss is waiting, along with the joyful union with the Creator.
