Both poems give a human-like presence to an abstract idea. In “Some Keep the Sabbath Going to Church,” Dickinson presents spirituality through a personal speaker who describes worship in nature, rather than attending a church. In “Because I Could Not Stop for Death,” Death is personified as a courteous carriage driver. The poems therefore share the use of a personal perspective to explore broad concepts; they do not both argue that people should fear death or focus on mortality.
