Still Life with Books and Candle, by Henri Matisse
Emily Dickinson

Part One: Life

 
            XCIX
 
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 a human soul!
