“[There Is No Frigate Like] A Book” by Emily Dickinson


Here’s an excerpt from a #poem by Emily Dickinson, entitled, “[There is no Frigate like] A Book”: “…This Traverse may the poorest take
Without oppress of Toll –
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human Soul – “


Listen to “A Book” by Emily Dickinson

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 the Human Soul –
