Billy Collins compared taking off this figure's clothes to "riding a swan into the night" in a poem that ends "reason is a plank." The letters of this writer, who regarded letter writing as "the joy of earth," were first compiled by Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Mabel Loomis Todd. This author imagined a bee that babbles in a stolid air and "Sweet Birds" that pipe in "gorant cadence" in a poem about "meek members of the Resurrection" that are "Safe in their Alabaster Chambers" Another poem by this author states "We passed the Fields of Gazing Grain, We passed the Setting Sun," and ends "I first surmised the Horses' Heads were toward eternity." That poem's opening clause is followed by "He kindly stopped for me." For 10 points, name this author of "I felt a Funeral, in my Brain" and "Because I could not stop for Death," a reclusive poet from Amherst.
