Anthropomorphism vs Personification
These two literary terms are often used interchangeably, but they are not the same. Personification gives human qualities to non-human things, while anthropomorphism goes further by making them fully human in behaviour or identity.

It means unintentional, not paying attention, or careless, stemming from Latin roots meaning “not turning the mind to” something; it’s used to describe actions, mistakes, or features that happen by accident, not by deliberate plan, like an “inadvertent error” or “inadvertent breach”.

Emily Dickinson’s “Because I Could Not Stop for Death” is perhaps one of the most widely analyzed poems in American literature. Yet, its quiet journey in a carriage still holds new lessons for those of us on a healing journey and seeking mental space. Many focus on the symbolism of death and the afterlife, but today, we’ll take a different view: the poem as a lesson in mindfulness, surrender, and self-care in the face of life’s ultimate inevitability.
