Poems — Third Series by Emily Dickinson, Mabel Loomis Todd

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!
