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! I am admittedly not always in the right state of mind to read poetry in the recent past, but still: this was not that great. Maybe Emily Dickinson is best enjoyed in small doses.
