There is no Frigate, by Emily Dickinson

There is no frigate like a book
To take us to 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!

(from Selected Poems of Emily Dickinson, printed 2016)
