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 !

沒有一艘艦船

能像一本書

帶我們遨游遠方

沒有一匹駿馬

能像一頁詩行

如此歡躍飛揚

即使一貧如洗

它也可以帶你走上

無須路費的旅程

這輛戰車，樸素無華

卻載著人類的靈魂
