Paraphrasing:
There is no frigate like a book
To take us away,
Nor any coursers like a page
Of prancing poetry
This traverse my the poorest take
Without oppress of toll
How frugal is the chariot
That bears the human soul!
In this poem Emily Dickinson is considering the power of a book or of poetry to carry us a way, to take us from our immediate surrounding into a world of the imagination. To do this she compared literature to various means of transportation: a boat, a team horses, and a wheeled land vehicle. But she has been careful to choose kinds of transportation and names for them that have romantic connotation. She said that literature and poetry are much better than frigate. Book is the best kind of ships and a page of poetry is much better than a horse. It is movement may take the people to another place without cost money. Books are cheap and good.
Theme: ​

Literature may create experience to us as we have travel and seen people get to know other culture. But literature is much better than frigate because it is easy to read, cheep, and you can learn from it

Is my team plowing​

A.E. HOUSMAN​

​

"Is my team plowing,
That I was used to drive
And hear the harness jingle
When I was man alive?"

Ay, the horses trample,
The harness jingles now;
No change though you lie under
The land you used to plow.

"Is football playing
Along the river shore,
With lads to chase the leather,
Now I stand up no more?"

Ay, the ball is flying,
The lads play heart and soul;
The goal stands, Up, the keeper
Stands Up to keep the goal.​

​

"Is my girl happy,
That I thought hard to leave,
And has she tired of weeping
As she lies down at eve?"

Ay, she lies down lightly,
She lies not down to weep:
Your girl is well contented.
Be still, my lad, and sleep.

"Is my friend hearty,
Now I am thin and pine,
And has he found to sleep in
A better bed than mine?"

Yes, lad, I lie easy,
I lie as lads would choose;
I cheer a dead man's sweetheart,
Never ask me whose​

Meeting at Night


The gray sea and the long black land;
And the yellow half-moon large and low;
And the startled little waves that leap
In fiery ringlets from their sleep,
As I gain the cove with pushing prow,
And quench its speed i' the slushy sand.


Then a mile of warm sea-scented beach;
Three fields to cross till a farm appears;
A tap at the pane, the quick sharp scratch
And blue spurt of a lighted match,
And a voice less loud, through its joys and fears,
Than the two hearts beating each to each

Parting at Morning
By Robert Browning​

Paraphrasing:
Round the cape of a sudden came the sea,
The lover used the same way he came from to go back home.
And the sun looked over the mountain's rim:
This line is an image to the beginning of the day, when raises over the mountain so the lover has to leave his sweet heart.
And straight was a path of gold for him,
The lover is leaving because he has to go to his work.
And the need of a world of men for me.​

When the lover left his sweet heart alone, he left her with a need for him inside her​

Mirror

Whatever I see I swallow immediately

Just as it is, unmisted by love or dislike.

I am not cruel, only truthful --

The eye of a little god, four-cornered.

Most of the time I meditate on the opposite wall.

It is pink, with speckles. I have looked at it so long

I think it is part of my heart. But it flickers.

Faces and darkness separate us over and over.Now I am a lake. A woman bends over me,

Searching my reaches for what she really is.

Then she turns to those liars, the candles or the moon.

I see her back, and reflect it faithfully.

She rewards me with tears and an agitation of hands.

I am important to her. She comes and goes.

Each morning it is her face that replaces the darkness.

In me she has drowned a young girl, and in me an old woman

Rises toward her day after day, like a terrible fish

The Hound

Life the hound
Equivocal
Comes at a bound
Either to rend me
Or to befriend me.
I cannot tell
The hound's intent
Till he has sprung
At my bare hand
With teeth or tongue.
Meanwhile I stand
And wait the event

The Guitarist Tunes Up

With what attentive courtesy he bent
Over his instrument;
Not as a lordly conquerer who could
Command both wire and wood,
But as a man with a loved woman might,
Inquiring with delight
What slight essential things she had to say
Before they started, he and she, to play​
