If music be the food of love, play on.
The moving finger writes; and, having writ,/Moves on
He moves at the speed of light,

Answer:

He moves at the speed of light.

Step-by-step explanation:

A "cliche" is considered to be a lack of creativity because it has been used over and over again in depicting an idea or image of something. People overly familiarizes it that it becomes less meaningful than it originally was.

"At the speed of light" is a cliche that describes time. This is commonly used when referring to somebody or of doing something with a very fast speed.

Some cliches describe people. For example: "A diamond in the rough" or "Have nerves of steel." Other cliches describe emotions. For example: "Frightened to death," or "Scared out of my wits."
