Thomas Johnson was the first scholar to compile the variorum edition of this writer's works. One work by this author concludes "I dropped down and down and hit a world at every plunge and finished knowing;" a different work ends "I've heard it in the chillest land, and on the strangest Sea, yet never in Extremity, it asked a crumb of me." The lines (*) "'Hope' is the thing with feathers" and "I felt a funeral in my brain" begin two separate works of this poet, who created a speaker that "first surmised the horses' heads were toward eternity" after she "passed school, where children strove at recess." That poem by her describes a "carriage [that] held just ourselves and Immortality." For 10 points, name this author of "Because I Could Not Stop for Death," a poet from Amherst.
