Question

In sonnet 65,what does the poet mean by time chest?

Answer 1

In the poem, the poet used the word the poet mean by Time’s chest because he tried to mention that time is a quick runner and one cannot stop it at any time.

When the time is moving, no external forces or hand or anything can stop the time from destroying the existing beauty is what he tried to convey on those words.

The poem Sonnet 65 made by  William Shakespeare’s asks the readers about the power in nature to destroy the stone, earth, brass, and the sea. He portrays that beauty is less durable and less in power compared to nature.
