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 !
沒有一艘艦船
能像一本書
帶我們遨游遠(yuǎn)方
沒有一匹駿馬
能像一頁詩行
如此歡躍飛揚
即使一貧如洗
它也可以帶你走上
無須路費的旅程
這輛戰(zhàn)車辆憔,樸素?zé)o華
卻載著人類的靈魂
