THERE IS NO FRIGATE LIKE A BOOK

By: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886)

There is no frigate like a book

To take us land away
Nor any course like a page
Of prancing poetry
This traverse may not poorest take
Without oppress of toll
How frugal is the chariot
That bears the human soul

Buku Lebih dari Sebuah Kapal

Buku lebih dari sebuah kapal

Yang dapat membawa kita ke manapun
Juga bukan sebuah pembelajaran
Puisi yang sangat rumit
Inilah jalan yang sederhana
Tanpa beban
Betapa mudahnya perjalanan ini
Yang hanya melibatkan jiwa seorang manusia.
