There is no Frigate like a Book

There is no Frigate like a Book (1286)
By 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 –

书 (余光中 译)

沒有大帆船能像一卷书
将我们送到异乡，
也沒有任何骏马像一页
奔騰跳跃的诗章。

最穷的人们也能作此游，
而不受关税的威逼；
载运这人类心灵的车辆
取费是何等便宜。
