Read these lines from emily dickinson's "a book":

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!

in "a book," dickinson compares reading to

a voyage
oppression
the human soul
a poem
