Aeternitas manet!

fugit means literally "runs away/escapes" (useless trivia: it's just like in Bach's fugues which has to do with their structure).

I'm not trying to be pedantic here -- for some time I've been wondering how one would say (in classical latin) "time flies" as "the flies of time".

Can anyone with the knowledge of classical Latin help me feed that brain worm?

Is it Muscae temporis?

Can I use that phrase instead of tempus fugit? Like a friend named Mori, who used to finish all of his posts with "Memento Mori - remember Mori"
