There is no Frigate like 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 a human soul !

没有一艘舰船

能像一本书

带我们遨游远方

没有一匹骏马

能像一页诗行

如此欢跃飞扬

即使一贫如洗

它也可以带你走上

无须路费的旅程

这辆战车，朴素无华

却载着人类的灵魂
