没有一艘战舰能像一本书

没有一艘战舰能像一本书

带我们抵达辽远的疆土

没有一匹骏马

像腾跃的诗行——

使穷困之人免受劳苦

纵横四方——

多么廉价的战车

承载人类之灵魂。

There is no Frigate like a Book

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.
