"there is no frigate like a book" (1263)
by emily dickinson

to take us lands away
nor any coursers like a page

without oppress of toll –
how frugal is the chariot
that bears the human soul –

Explanation:

Emily instigates the eager verse sweethearts through this ballad to take on verse for the delight of perusing which conveys you to removed spots envisioned by the person. It is a piece of provocation for the poem lovers who love to read.

In the poem, a book is the best and most feasible arrangement or choice to flutter or journey as opposed to a ship. It is to some degree near sleep-walking. Emily further proceeds to state that no more war-ponies are there which could divert somebody to far spots. The pages of a book are reasonable and they can convey one to far off spots with their moving content in contrast with those costly steeds. She gives a reasonable sign of her emotions towards the mistreated class. Further on she offers a chance to the poor who can undoubtedly through the lines of book cross all over without being charged a solitary penny. At last, she closes saying that the book fills in as the most affordable and reasonable chariot which conveys the human personality and soul to far off spots.
