my empire of words
rattling around in my head
more trapped in my books
my empire of words
rattling around in my head
more trapped in my 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 a human soul!
~Emily Dickinson
