Emily Dickinson
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 toil;
How frugal is the chariot
That bears a human soul!
‘There Is No Frigate Like a Book’
I LOVE this poem!!!
About the painting, all I have to say is …I WANT THAT DRESS!!!! I am simply fascinated by the fashion of the late 1800s and early 1900s, and just love that time when the empire waist came back!!! So anyways, I really like the model’s dress as you can see… The gold sash is so me! (sigh)
Oh! I found an Emily Dickinson that you like!
I really love this painting too.
