Author: Emily Dickinson (USA)

No ship can be like a book.

There is not a boat.

It can be like a book

And there's not a horse

Can jump like a page of poetry.

Take people far away.

Open a book quietly.

Read this road

Even the poorest people can walk.

Don't worry about the toll.

Open a book quietly.

What an economical car this is.

Carrying the human soul.
