The answer is: It progresses slowly.

In the lines from "Macbeth," the protagonist refers to the slow transition of time with a feeling of despair and hopelessness. In one of Shakespeare's most famous soliloquies, Macbeth expresses the insignificant meaning of life and the monotonous beating of time after learning his wife has died and he is about to lose his power.
