Time is not waiting for you
I wanted to stay in September
on the deserted and pale beach,
I wanted to load myself with the ash
of my fickle roosters
and the heavy wind to fall asleep
in my tangles like water in nets;

Time - foundation of existence
In the evening on the hill the bucium sounds mourning,
The herds climb it, the stars get in their way,
The waters weep, clearly springing in the wells;
Under an acacia, darling, you are waiting for me.
The moon in the sky passes the holy and clear thread,
Your eyes as big as the rare leaf,
The stars give birth wet on the serene vault,
Your chest of longing, your forehead of thoughts is full.

Humanity’s treasure: Time
Time is the continued sequence of existence and events that occurs in an apparently irreversible succession from the past, through the present, into the future. The irreversible flow of time is one of themes chosen by many writers because it is one of humanity’s biggest problems. Time is highlighted in a lot of poetry and text through some scenarios or expressions of feelings, for example sadness for the passage of time
VICTOR BOBOC
Time-Life’s hardest test
From the beginning of time,people have realised that time is the most precious,unrecoverable element.His importance is mostly discovered by people when it’s not much left of it.This type of vision is used as theme in the writings of the most famous romanian writers.They express their feelings(sadness)caused by the fast passing of time,creating a gloomy atmosphere.In the majority of cases,the emphasys is placed on the “empty part of the glass”,which is the moment when they realised how little time they have left.At the end ,most of the romanian writers advise us to cherish time and use it to its full potential.
BOGDAN MARIAN BULZA
Time represents the way the hourglass sand drains, the way the moments pass; and last but not least it is that special something that can be defined in a thousand different ways. The night, or in our case the nocturnal time, is the period of time that passes between the sunset and the sunrise, like a relentless cycle. This is why the nocturn appears as the main subject in literature as well as in plastic arts and music.
ADA VANESA CHIȘ-COHAN
Nocturne
A good example of the way this is represented in literature can be the poetry called ‘Nocturne” and written by the Romanian author George Bacovia, in which the poet describes the mix between the outside world and the inside one during the night time. When it comes to music, Frédéric François Chopin’s famous composition called also ‘Nocturne’ which contains 21 beautiful solo compositions for piano. Last but not least, when it comes to art, a very good example is the well known artwork called ‘Nocturne in black’ of the American painter James McNeill Whistler.
To conclude, time can be represented through any of the three arts.
‘A light agonises,
it exists, it doesn’t exist,-
An alcoholic passes
by the sad market.
The city sleeps wet
in the heavy wetness
Through these walls,
maybe, she sleeps,-’
Time in art
Time can be considered a symbol of art. It can take different forms, such as romanticism, in which the period of realism is found combined with aspects of reality, which are as close as possible to the truth, the Middle Ages through which geometric paintings are outlined, with points of interest highlighted, being during the Renaissance, and futurism reproduces the movement made by several people. Each period belonged to an artistic era, time representing an influence on painting. Painting is a form of interior exteriorization, where certain chromatic stridencies predominate. The passage of time can also be externalized through paintings that portray images of dynamism, for example Van Gogh's "The Starry Night" or other paintings of his.

Love of the past
You go, and years of pain untold,
O being that I dearly love,
My eyes will nevermore behold
The way you smile, the way you move.
And it is not as legend kind,
This love of mine torn by despair,
A demon does your soul confine
Sweet maid with face as marble fair.
You go…

Time
The enemy or the friend of death?
VALERIA ALESIA ILISIE
Time is an unknown that captures the center of inspiration of many poets and prose writers.
The time of the story and the time of narration may coincide. While the story is told from the past, it can actually be happening in the present or in the future.
Last but not least, the narrator can be located in the present or the future, but tell a story that have already happened.
To sum everything up, time can be found in a lot of creations, having a special influence on humans related to one of the greatest fears, death.
Time
Time has always been an important question , both for specialists and for great creators. Creators, painters , musicians and even great writers like to use this mysterious and so unique and precious. Writers use time as the past , present or future. Juggling these times , they manage to create a work of art , from all point of view these geniuses , all these being accompanied by the narrators account of the present or future time. Most people have the impression that time is infinite , and because of that they think they have time , but it is wrong , time has us and we have nothing to do against it.
In conclusion , time in works as well as in reality , represents the superiority over any living being , because it imposes on us a state of fear , the fear of death.

“But they, in this moment they felt they’ll remain…
For a long time my grandfather is dead, grandmother is old…
What a strange thing: time! Suddently on the wall
You really see yourself only in the dusted portraits.
And how we were sitting… far away, a bell rang,
The same bell maybe, in the village’s old tower…
For wedding or for death, in the village’s old tower.”

Adrian Pintea - „Gloss
” by Mihai Eminescu (@Arhiva TVR)
“Time goes by, time comes along,
All is old and all is new;
What is right and what is wrong,
You must think and ask of you;
Have no hope and have no fear,
Waves that rise can never hold;
If they urge or if they cheer,
You remain aloof and cold”
-The English translation by Adrian Sahlean
“Glossa” by Miha Eminescu
From the beginning of time, time has existed in all the arts, this being a crucial element.
In literature, the passage of time is specified in poems and shows us the imprint left by it. A good example is the poem "The years will pass" by Mihai Eminescu in which we are presented with the fact that with the passage of time his love grows more and more "As the years go by, She will give me more and more space. ”.
In drawing / painting, time can be represented by a single object or a combination of seasons (suggests the passage of time) ("Stop" time by Ludmilka Locse)
In music, time is a unit of measure that helps dancers coordinate. Any dance can have a different number of times.
To conclude, time is a crucial element that can be represented in any art.

Ubiquitous time
MARA MIHAELA MEREANU
From the most distant ages
time was one of
the main objects of interest of
man, it even affects them
making his life possible. As the
is also suggested in this table,
man is so drawn to time in everything
directions and supported by them,
thus time being classified into a
linear time (objective) and a circular one
(subjective). Unable to win
time, people defied him,
perpetuating their feelings
and states through art.

The Imprint Of Time
The years have passed like clouds across the dale;
The years have gone and will return no more,
For they no longer move me, as the lore
Of legend, and of song, and doina's tale
Brought wonder to my boyish brow of yore,
And mystery its meaning half unveil.
Your shade falls round me now to no avail,
O secret twilight hour on evening's shore.

Time flies
As can be seen in many literary creations , time is and will always be one of the greatest pains of human beings.
Returning to the past or insecurity of the future is associated with feelings such as: melancholy, longing. For example, the impression of the passage of time, as the title says, is only the result of thinking that makes the present forgotten, many people living in the future or in the past.
In conclusion, time is precious and strongly demonstrated to have a major impact on everyone, either consciously or subconsciously.

THE PAST by J.L. BORGES
It could have been all-these things
Not to have been. They almost weren't.
We imagine them in a fatal past.
There is no time other than the present:
It's the pinnacle it will be and it has been,
When the sand drips.
It's illusory yesterday
Wide room figures wax
Or literary reminiscences
What time he breaks them in the mirrors.

“Scurgerea timpului” by
Daniela Isache

And make the earth devour her own sweet brood;
Pluck the keen teeth from the fierce tiger’s jaws,
And burn the long-lived phoenix in her blood …

CONCLUSIONS
It is said that art represents beauty in all its forms of manifestation; beauty, as an aesthetic value, also means sublime, dramatic, tragic. It is that external stimulus that envelops our senses, makes us aware of aesthetic values and, why not, forms a strong critical spirit in evaluating different works of art.
In this project, we can see how literature, fine arts and music develop over time. New styles and techniques are making their place, becoming more loved by spectators and listeners. Starting with the great Poet, Mihai Eminescu, who stands out with poems such as O ramai, Glossa and the well-known Luceafar which has its debut during the Romantic period, all these creations highlight the theme of love, nature and especially the passage of time, ephemerality.
Visually, the passage of time is observed by changing the cultural currents of well-known paintings such as: The Persistence of Memory by Salvador Dali which is conceived during Surrealism, Tribute to Apollinaire by Marc Chagall created during Cubism, The Kiss by Gustav Klimt belonging to the Symbolist current.
And from a musical point of view, you can see a major difference. From the different styles that were in vogue in certain periods, one can differentiate the dominant culture. Classical music is represented by great composers, such as Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, Frédéric Chopin, Antonio Vivaldi, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart who are known for their work as: Valse Sentimentale, Nocturne op. 9 no. 2, Autumn, Lacrimosa. The specific current of these composers and musical works is romanticism.
