Because i could not stop for death , cirtical appreciation

the poetess has very realistic and unfearing idea about death, which is only a relaxing interval ---helping us in our ownward journey, in the realms of eternity. Although we are forgetful of our duties and do not make appropriate preparations to receive death due to our worldly pursuits, yet death is very kind and considerate to escort us to our final destination. the poestess herself was given very kind treatment by death.
she recounts her past age, toughing upon prominent stages of her life- her school days, blooming youth and old age ending into death.
After burial in her grave she feels that in the next world changes into timelessness and centuries could be hardly compared with a moment of eternity.
The image of of ride in the carriage has dual significance. It is a journey from life to death, from the physical to the spiritual, from time to timelessness
