It's World Book Night, and this lovely poem by the totally unique Emily Dickinson seemed very appropriate.
THERE IS NO FRIGATE LIKE A BOOK (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 the Human Soul -
