What does the chariots at gate in Emily soul select her own society means?
In Emily Dickinson's poem "I'm ceded—I've stopped being theirs—", the line "The Chariots at my gate—" refers to the approaching death. The poet personifies death as a charioteer who arrives at her doorstep in a chariot to transport her soul to the afterlife. It conveys a sense of resignation and acceptance by the speaker as she prepares to embark on this final journey, surrendering her earthly ties and transitioning into the unknown realm of eternity. Through this imagery, Dickinson conveys the universality and неизбежность death as an ever-present reality in human existence.
