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!

~ Emily Dickinson (Dec. 10, 1830 - May 15, 1886) American poet
