APAD: There is no frigate like a book

This is the first line of a poem by Emily Dickinson. She didn't jet around

the world to hunt inspirations. To her, the human soul is infinitely free only

because its vehicle can be so frugal.

 

Buddha might have an even cheaper one. Before enlightenment, however, a book is

pretty good.

 

Enjoy.

 

    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.

    

Meanwhile, gas cost $5.783/gal in California as of 9/30/2023 :-)

还有一个关于书的比喻。人是自己的深渊，书籍帮我们爬出渊口。

Not really. Just felt like to share :-)

Friends, romans, countrymen, ...

Gas cost $3.89/gal in NY as of 10/01/2023. Just filled it up

Who said it?

读中学时看过的一句话，忘记是哪位先贤之言。但这些年一直都记得这句话。

How could it be?! Oh. I see. Newsom&Big Oil locked horns.

无为而无不为 :-)

加州汽油一直比纽约高吧。你们好像有什么特殊的州税？

Woohoo, Shakespean on the way ~ ~

I've never noticed until now. Thanks to you :-)

所以说宇宙的中心在湾区，在加州呀。贫困线年收入70万走起。。哈哈

How frugal is the chariot That bears a human soul. 大赞！

Love it! How have souls fared since her time?

where we get so good at trading souls for $$$ :-)

It’s free. The chariot is honored to take the right soul!

我要去伸请救济！

Neither $$$ or 救济 is as it is cracked up to be:)

同去，同去，哈哈

Good rhythm between 济and be!

哈哈哈，来了一群白盔白甲的，阿Q，同去同去！

对应的中文是不是：书中自有黄金屋：））

The last sentence is much more than this!
