[Frigates are warships and Coursers are swift horses. Now enjoy the brilliance of Emily!]
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)
