Emily Dickinson — Letter 400 1873? - no ms. Louise and Frances Norcross

... I think of your little parlor as the poets once thought of Windermere, - peace, sunshine, and books.       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.
