Quality Tulle
Because I Could Not Stop For Death by Emily Dickinson
In this poem what does death signify?
i know it signifies a gentleman but what are his qualities that
are so alluring to the passenger?
thanks!
ohh and here’s the poem :
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, be passed us;
The dews grew quivering and chill,
For only gossamer my gown,
My tippet only tulle.
We paused before 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 than the day
I first surmised the horses’ heads
Were toward eternity.
First of all, this poem is stunning yet so very sad!
First let me answer the main question:
In this poem death signifies a polite and considerate gentleman who takes her in a carriage for a journey “toward Eternity” …
Now about the peom:
In the first three stanzas, the tone is joyous and happy, she can’t realize that she has died. From the carriage, she sees her childhood, her youth, and then her final years. In the fourth stanza, the tone seems to be contemplative; the speaker is confused and uncertain about her existence in the world. Then, in the last two stanzas (at the end of her journey), she uses a sad tone; she perceives the reality, and becomes calm when she realizes her destiny.
These are some amazing parts that makes you pause!
Her gown is made of “tippet only tulle” which is a kind material. In the 19th century, when people died they are usually attired with this kind of dresses, and with this she figures out that she is dead.
The third and fourth lines in this stanza “The roof was scarcely visible, the cornice but a mound.” emphasizes that she is buried in the earth. In stanza six, the speaker recalls that she had died on earth centuries ago, but she feels that time is “shorter than the Day” realizing that she is dead. The words of the final stanza such as “surmised” and “toward eternity” make it understandable that she is in a shocking situation at the end of her journey. It dawns on her that her journey is towards endless death: “the horses’ heads/ Were toward eternity.”
At the end of her journey, she reaches Death’s home which is represented by the word “house”. No she views her own grave “a swelling of the ground”… OMG! It makes you cry!
It’s so very sad that it hurts yet, it’s so very well done and a pleasure to read.
Emily Dickinson is a great and brilliant poet but the thing is that she always wrote about death and immortality which is not really my kind of poems although some of her poems fascinates me.
