Eternity

Three years before my mother died, I decided not to speak to her again. And why? During a conversation over the telephone, she had once again let me know that my accomplishments—becoming a responsible and independent woman—did not amount to very much, that the life I lived was nothing more than a silly show, that she truly wished me dead.

Life after death is a straightforward concept put into many different forms, but Walt Whitman’s idea of life after death compared to the Bible’s is something that should be studied carefully.

In fact, in the poem “from Song of Myself” Whitman states “they are alive and well somewhere” (120). In the same way, the Bible says in John 17:3 “you will fill me with joy in your presence

While sight seeing in the carriage, one can gather, by the setting of the sun, that this ride was glimpse of life flashing before her eyes; just as said to happen before you die. Lines 14 and 15 seem to support this idea. “The dews drew

In addition to these three stages, the final stage of eternity was symbolized in the last two lines of the poem, the “Horses Heads” (23), leading “towards Eternity” (24). Dickinson fathomed the incomprehensible progression of life by unraveling its complexity with figurative symbols. Emily Dickinson dresses the scene such that mental pictures of sight, feeling
