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 – we passed the school, where children strove at recess – in the ring – we passed the fields of gazing grain – we passed the setting sun – or rather – he passed us – the dews drew quivering and chill – for only gossamer, my gown – my tippet – only tulle – we paused before a house that seemed a swelling of the ground – the roof was scarcely visible – the cornice – in the ground – since then – 'tis centuries – and yet feels shorter than the day i first surmised the horses' heads were toward eternity – what is the central topic of the poem? nature death self

death is the correct answer

i’m writing a memoir and i’ve been given the great suggestion of placing a ‘sub-narrative’ within some of the chapters – sort of, what was going on with me in the grand scheme of things.

i was wondering how to format this so that it is very obvious we are stepping out the of story.

firstly is a change in font from serif to sans workable? i also use dashes for a scene change. was thinking of using a different scene-changer too.

here’s a (shortened) example:

university – or what’s known as ‘uni’ in australia – were some of the best days of my life. where else do you get to potter around in a great location, have very little responsibility, learn lots of things, do lots of things and walk out four years later with a bonus – a degree!

with my university years i had immersed myself into community of intelligent ambitious people. generally everyone had a confidence about themselves. they knew where they were going in life and weren’t threatened by others.

too much?
