Answer to Question 1


  • For the poet, death and immortality go together. Besides, Dickinson is amplifying her metaphor of Death as a gentleman taking a woman for a drive: Immortality, as would have been proper in Amherst, is their chaperone.



Answer to Question 2


  • Grain has kernels like eyes at the tips of its stalks. As the speaker dies, the natural worldlike the fly in I heard a Fly buzzis watching.
