The word “passed” is remarkably versatile in literature, serving to denote a range of transitions—whether they be temporal, spatial, or metaphorical. In many passages, the term marks the flowing nature of time, as hours, days, or even entire eras slip away quietly ([1], [2]). It also conveys physical movement and progression, such as characters moving through landscapes or scenes ([3], [4]), and it can subtly communicate life’s transitions, including the euphemistic expression of death or change in fortune ([5], [6]). Thus, “passed” functions both literally and figuratively, encapsulating the relentless, often imperceptible, march of events and emotions that define the narrative journey.
