What does the carriage symbolize in this excerpt from Emily Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death”?

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 –



immortality
