Stop for Death”, written by Emily Dickinson, is considered to be one of the greatest masterpieces in American history.

The novel White Noise by Don Delillo is a work of literature that suggests that death might in fact be a hyperobject. Throughout the novel, Delillo uses the emotions of the characters Jack, Heinrich, and Orest to support the suggestion that death
