Another image used is when the speaker describes their grave in the early morning, "The Dews drew quivering and chill - For only Gossamer, my Gown-- My Tippet- - only Tulle." This quote from the poem describes how the speaker is only covered by a thin shawl in their grave and feeling the bitter frost of the morning. These images relate to one another as they both express the feeling and meaning of the afterlife. The first quote demonstrates going into the afterlife and not being able to look back at the past while the second quote conveys the idea of what it's like to be in a grave with hardly any coverings. ]]> 2022-02-18 00:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307140 ale147 https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307529 2022-02-18 00:37:03 UTC https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307529 ale147 https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307642 The symbols mentioned in the poem are the carriage and the horses. The carriage and horses are used as a symbol where the speaker is being led to the end of their life and the start of a new one. This symbol is first introduced when the author says, "The Carriage held but just Ourselves - And Immortality," and the speaker's ride through life continues as they "passed the School" and "passed the Setting Sun". The horses are mentioned at the end of the poem, saying that "the Horses' Heads were toward Eternity -". The carriage shows the "ride" through the speaker's life, from young to the end of day, and finally eternity, meaning a new life and never looking back. ]]> 2022-02-18 00:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307642 ale147 https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307709 One of the figures of speech presented in Emily Dickinson's  "Because I could not stop for death" portrays personification. In one line, "The Dews drew quivering and chill," personifies the Dews as chilly and lower temperature that can give someone goosebumps. By describing the Dews as cold, Dickinson uses human characteristics such as "quivering" and "chill" to emphasize the setting. Another figure of speech introduced by the poet is imagery. "We paused before a House that seemed a swelling of the ground-- the roof was scarcely visible-- the cornice-- in the ground" illustrates the forsaken house in the distance waiting for them to pass by. ]]> 2022-02-18 00:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307709 ale147 https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307836 The poet wrote in the tone of acceptance. The speaker of the poem “had to put away [their] labor and leisure”, concluding that they had accepted their fate and are going down memory lane. By looking at the poem, the first line, “because I could not stop for death” elucidates the irony of someone constantly thinking of death. Usually they envision a new way to live their life, but in this case the speaker awaits for death rather than death appearing unexpected. ]]> 2022-02-18 00:37:20 UTC https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307836 ale147 https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307952 2022-02-18 00:37:26 UTC https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054307952 ale147 https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054343765 2022-02-18 01:04:21 UTC https://padlet.com/ale147/s68iw4w1obivdnor/wish/2054343765
