Read this excerpt from an Emily Dickinson 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 –

Based on the excerpt, Dickinson’s attitude toward death can best be described as:
a. fearful dread
b. sad denial
c. willful ignorance
d. respectful acceptance
