poems sent from dickinson to frances and louise norcross


There is no Frigate like a Book
To take us lands away
Nor any Coursers like a Page
Of prancing Poetry -
This Travel may the poorest take
Without offence of Toll -
How frugal is the Chariot
That bears the Human soul.


2. us] one
5. Travel] Traverse
6. offence] oppress
