Ever eating, never cloying, All-devouring, all-destroying, Never finding full repast, Till I eat the world at last.
Common Wrong Answers
“Black hole”
While a black hole does consume everything around it, it is a physical entity and doesn't represent the abstract concept of time, which is continuous and affects all things.
“Fire”
Fire consumes materials and can destroy, but it is not an all-encompassing force like time, which affects everything and never stops.
“Hunger”
Hunger is a desire for food and can be satiated temporarily, whereas time is an unending progression that cannot be satisfied or filled.
