The word “goes” is employed in literature as a remarkably versatile verb that can indicate movement, progress, or even the manner in which events unfold. In some instances, it simply denotes physical motion—as when a character “goes to bed” ([1]) or “goes round the corner” ([2])—while in other cases it signals the continuation or state of a process, as in “all goes well” ([3], [4], [5]) or the idea that “thinking of some sort goes on” ([6]). The term is also used in proverbial and idiomatic expressions, lending a rhythmic or philosophical quality to the text, as seen in “Who goes softly goes safely…” ([7]) or “Misers’ money goes twice to market” ([8]). Whether marking a physical departure, the passage of time, or the flow of thought, “goes” functions as a succinct yet powerful tool to convey both literal and metaphorical movement in narrative and poetic discourse.
