"But at my back I always hear Time’s winged chariot hurrying near"

Personification is the attribution of human qualities to a non-human thing, or the characterization of that thing as a person. The capitalization of Time establishes is him/her as a proper noun, likely a person or a god, riding a winged chariot.
