What is a CONCEIT?

• There's been a death in the opposite house
 As lately as to-day.

 Such houses have alway. The neighbors rustle in and out, 
 The doctor drives away.

 Abrupt, mechanically; Somebody flings a mattress out, --
 The children hurry by; 
 They wonder if It died on that, --
 I used to when a boy. The minister goes stiffly in
 As if the house were his, 
 And he owned all the mourners now, 
 And little boys besides; And then the milliner, and the man
 Of the appalling trade, 
 To take the measure of the house. 
 There'll be that dark parade Of tassels and of coaches soon; 
 It's easy as a sign, --
 The intuition of the news
 In just a country town. • Emily Dickinson’s use of the word “house” to reflect not just the house itself, but also the activity and the people around and within it, exemplifies the use of ______.
