I Could Not Stop for Death, a Poem by Emily Dickinson

55 years after the departure from heaven, dear emily was called back. Someone did the calling. Was it angels, friends up there in heaven? Or was it god himself saying, you've had your stint down there. I'd like you back up here with me. And this might seem fanciful to you, these hypotheticals, but we're operating on hunches and impulses and ideas and guesses because death is our topic to day. Emily dickinson's view of it, as expressed in one of her most famous poems cause i could not stop for death. What does stopping for death even mean? Eight syllables in that line. It's iambic to trameter.
