Christina Rossetti's vision of death and afterlife as expressed in her poem "Uphill".Please answer by using excerpts from the poem.

To add to the first answer, please pay attention to the dialogic form in which the poem is written. The question-maker is a man on the verge of death but does not realize. He thinks it to be yet another of his uphill journeys at the end of which there will be shelter, food, rest and company. The answering voice may be seen as an internalized voice of the other who understands the finality of this journey or we can also see this voice as the voice of death itself.

The answering voice always answers in a vague way so as to point toward a radical impossibility of knowing the event of death. It will happen but at what exact moment no one knows. Human beings can never anticipate it exactly. The language of death remains equivocal.

The final line of the poem which is also the final answer of the voice, refers to a faith of all being provided for in the shelter of death. One can read into this the Christian idea of death as a matter of faith and death as a true meeting between the human and the divine souls.
