There is no Frigate like a Book (1286)
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 a human soul!
沒有任何快艇像一本書
文:艾米莉·狄金森
譯:Yimusanfendi
沒有任何快艇像一本書
領我們到遙遠的國度,
也無啥快馬像書中一頁
有詩在其上昂首闊步。
最窮者都可采用它出行
完全不必為費用憂心;
這四輪馬車是多麽節儉
它承載一個人的靈魂!
