Her!poem seemed quite well aligned to the theme of today’s Moment of Zen.
“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 –“
It definitely fits the theme. Thanks for commenting with this poem. I don’t think I’ve ever read this, but she did wrote over 1800 poems in her lifetime, so I haven’t read them all. LOL

“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 –“
