There is no Frigate like a Book - Emily Dickinson

There is no Frigate like a Book

There is no Frigate like a Book 

To take us Lands away, 

Nor any Coursers like a Page 

Of prancing Poetry –  

This Traverse may the poorest take        

Without oppress of Toll –  

How frugal is the Chariot 

That bears a Human soul.
