Different time periods coexist and present themselves as unattached entities in that world as several books spread on a table do in human's world. The joint of the two worlds is the human death. Assuming Death and Immortality as beings in the four-dimensional world where people enter after physical death, I could find reasonable explanations for all the woman’s experiences in the poem. Actually, her life is draining away when “He kindly stopped”, so she could possibly get rid of all worldly trivialities and embark on this unusual trip. Her whole life is reduced to several parted entities, which makes centuries shorter than a day.
The process is just like weaving a rug: the words are the threads, the literary elements are the beautiful patterns, and the form and structure is the shape. This distinctive feature of Emily Dickinson’s poetry can been seen in almost all her poems, as it will be further discussed in the poem, “Because I Could Not Stop for Death—.” In this poem, Dickinson inspires the readers with a different interpretation of death and immortality, speaking from the viewpoint of eternity. She exposes the beauty of death through most notably, the vivid imagery, other exquisitely exercised literary elements, and the poem’s unique form and structure. The creation of imagery is the soul of poetry. Emily Dickinson dresses the scene such that mental picture of sigh, feeling and sound come to life.
The Cornice, or ledge, found on line 20 is the last step before the end of the town and before crossing over and heading to eternity. Symbolism in Poetry 3 Emily Dickinson shows even more symbolism in the poem, “I felt a Funeral, in my Brain” in

When analyzing “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” by Emily Dickson, the lyric poem on the theme is death, the two elements of her style considered as point of view, are the following: immortality, and the physical process of death. The framework of the poem is immediately identified in the first two lines creating a contrast between “dead” (line 1) and calm of acceptance “He kindly stopped for me” (line 2). The stanza continues describing the journey to the grave, where the last ride can surely become an enjoyable trip “my labor and leisure too” (line 7); in the next quatrain, stages of life are clearly review: like childhood, maturity and decay “We passed the school, where children strove, at Recess-in the Ring”, We passed the fields on Gazing Grain-, We passed the Setting Sun” (lines 9-12). The following stanza, continues describing the magical journey, “Or rather-He passed Us-” (line 12) perhaps that’s what death is like, a shining light that leaves nothing but cold darkness, that can also be interpret as sorrow and pain. “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.
Because I Could Not Stop For Death Virginia Victoria Stinson ENG. 125-Introduction to Literature Matthew Norsworthy February 10, 2014 Because I Could Not Stop For Death There are a lot of differences between a poem and a short story. Some are minor and some are in more detail. I have chosen the poem, “Because I Could Not Stop For Death”, by- Emily Dickinson. And the short story, “I Used To Live Here Once”, by- Jean Rhys.
In this stanza “school” is a symbol, in which she relates that it was the beginning of his life. They are also passing out of time into eternity. In the fourth stanza “or rather –he passed us” she is death, she has stopped her run of life, she is death and is a part of a landscape. It’s explaining the new place in their world, as in a cemetery. 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.
I would like to analyze the poem from a point of view as a female. The whole poem is a monologue of a woman, no ups and downs, however, calm and peaceful. A busy woman was invited by Death who is solicitous and polite to get on the carriage on a journey. Although she seldom left her home, she was glad to get on the carriage with a trace of hope and joy. Precisely, because of gentle manners of Death, the initiation of love appeared in her mind.
Essay on Persuasion Discuss the way in which Austen explores the effect of time in her final novel, Persuasion. The novel Persuasion by Jane Austen gives us an account of what time can perform: time can destroy, renew, heal… And even when it alienates or hurts, it always brings the future. The opening pages of this novel bring straight before the reader the passing of time. In Persuasion, the characters’ behaviour and temperament vary according to the seasons. At the beginning of the novel, Anne Elliot is a saddened character, lacking in self-confidence, and whose bloom has vanished: she is faded and autumnal.
Also, the lines placement plays an important role in their meaning. These lines are one after the other, but there is a break between them, they are in different stanzas. The woman’s implied death has taken place in this break, showing once again the contrast between life and after life. Although this poem is very short, we are able to gather much from the diction Wordsworth uses in his writing. The first stanza of this poem is about the speaker’s love and affection towards the woman.
