She describes him as kind and civil, someone for which she would “put away” (6) her “labour” and “leisure” (7), just to go on a carriage ride with. This is a ride which she is unprepared for. The temperature becomes cold as the sun sets and she is only wearing thin clothing; “only gossamer my gown/ my tippet only tulle” (15-16). This makes death seem attractive, someone whom the speaker could spend the rest of her ‘life’ with. However, “Immortality” is also capitalized and personified (4).
Because I Could Not Stop for Death Emily Dickinson “Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” tells the tale of Death calling upon the speaker as if he is a suitor. The speaker who is either to busy to stop, because she is living life, or because she sees death coming and is afraid. She accepts death as if he is a suitor coming to court and goes with him in the carriage. They are the only two in the carriage along with immortality who rides as a silent chaperone. Death drives slowly, going at his own pace perhaps, signifying how from the time a person is born they begin to die.
Her whole life she was kept to the family and isolated from society because of the family’s idea of being better than everyone. When Emily’s father dies she tells everyone that he wasn’t dead, “she would have to cling to that which had robbed her, as people will” (Faulkner p# 240). Emily couldn’t change and tried to hold on. The character Miss Brill is isolated in a different manner. Every Sunday Miss Brill would go to the park and “Only two people shared her special seat”(Mansfield p# 276).
The Poem Because I could not stop for Death Because I could not stop for Death- He kindly stopped for me- The Carriage held but just Ourselves- And Immortality. We slowly drove- He knew no haste. And I had put away My labor, and my leisure too, For His Civility- We passed the School, where Children strove At Recess- in the Ring- We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain- We passed the Setting Sun- Or rather- He passed us- The Dews grew quivering and chill- For only Gossamer, my Gown- My Tippet- only Tulle- We paused before a House that seemed A Swelling of the Ground- The Roof was scarcely visible- The Cornice- but a Mound- Since then- ΄tis centuries- and yet each Feels shorter that the Day I first
In the fifth stanza “we paused before a house that seemed” she describes a house, but this house is the same place in the landscape or cemetery, and she describes this house because, she has obsession with of her house, but really it is the resting place and a travel to eternity. In the final stanza “since then tis centuries and yet” is since she died, its feel no longer a day is a significant of every day of her death. In this stanza "tis centuries" is a symbol in the centuries which means the time that it happens in that place are the years that they no longer have any meaning by that are always the same. These years are those which are going to carry it up to eternity. In this poem is a deal for death again and again.
Not one word will make you, where you are, turn in your day, or wake from your night toward me. The only gift I got to keep or give is what I've cried, floodgates let down to mourning for the dead chances, the end of being young, for everyone I loved who really died. I drank our one year out in brine instead of honey from the seasons of your tongue. Analysis of sonnet Marilyn Hackers’ sonett “Did You Love Well What Very Soon You Left?“ is an excerpt from her work “Love, Death and the Changing of the Seasons“, from 1986. This sonett does not consist of two quartets and two terzets, but it contains fourteen verses.
“The Dews drew quivering and chill, For only Gossamer, my Gown-, My Tippet-only Tulle -” (line 13-15) the last attire is been described as an old fashion gown and a kind of cape that is usually made out of fur is only tulle, this cold garment may never get warm, this dress is not appropriate for an end, this is not wedding this is a funeral. The theme of the poem was clearly seemed in every line, the dead has become morality instead of calamity, a natural part of the endless cycle. The view of the dead is a unique feeling that gets handled differently by every individual, and is usually based in personality and religious beliefs how someone will face the last step to
Where as with death, it is sad, mournful and so very lonesome. Because death is so final, there is no going back and living again, your life is over and there is nothing that you can do about it. When it is your time, you will nonetheless die, and that is that. In the short story, “I Used To Live Here Once”, by-Jean Rhys, her interpretation of death is very different. I think it was a very well written
John and Joan Durbeyfields marriage which is strongly shown throughout the novel, this was an example of Marriage for love. This is proven and is obvious as they both did not marry for wealth as the family own little and struggle to get by. Instead they have a big family full of love. The marriage between Angel and Tess was a perfect marriage at first, a marriage for love. Tess was marrying out of pure love and affection for this intelligent, freethinking man.
So already from the poems start the reader gets sympathy for the knight. In the two first stanzas, the scene of autumn is described: The grass stopped, no birds sing, squirrels and other animals have hoarded food to sustain them throughout winter, and the harvest is done. The writer makes the knight look so exhausted and miserable, by saying: So haggard and woebegone. By saying this, it makes the knight seem to be in a terrible condition: “And on the thy cheek a fading rose – the poet is comparing the color on his cheeks with a fast fading rose. The poet also says: I see a lily on thy brow – which means that the knight-at-arms forehead glistens with sweet like a lily (white).
