By Emily Dickinson
 
 
 
 
 
 
There is no frigate like a book  
  To take us lands away,  
  Nor any coursers like a page  

  Of prancing poetry.  
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Dickinson’s poems were published by Mabel Loomis Todd and Thomas Higgenson in 1890 and 1891. A third volume was published by Higgenson in 1896.
