Bryant uses images of coffins, tombs, and graves to develop the idea of death. The poet paints a scary picture of death using words such as agony, shroud, and shudder:
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall.
And breathless darkness, and the narrow house,
Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart—
He describes the "stern agony" of dying and uses words such as shroud and pall to suggest the cloth wrapped around dead bodies and caskets. Bryant also draws comparisons between the freedom and space of nature and the narrow confinement of coffins.
He further explains how nature acts as a "great tomb of man" as everyone gets mixed up in the earth after dying.

The opening scene in <em>Antigone</em> between Antigone and Ismene sparks the play's action (A.) by revealing Antigone's plan of burying her brother against the king's orders.
Sophocles' play<em> Antigone </em>starts with a dialogue between Antigone and her sister Ismene, where<u> Antigone tells her that she is determined to bury Polynices</u>, their brother, despite Creon's orders<u>. Ismene tells her sister that she will not help her to bury him and tries to convince Antigone to respect the law because</u> Creon had ordered to condemn to death to anyone that dared to bury Polynices since he had been a 'traitor'. Therefore, while Ismene is submissive to the king, <u>Antigone decides to break the law and pay obedience to a higher religious law instead</u>.
