There is no Frigate like a Book

To take us Lands away

Nor any Coursers like a Page

This Traverse may the poorest take

Without oppress of Toll –

That bears the Human Soul –

Answer:

I think it is one's imagination.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dickinson throughout this poem describes how even the poorest people can go wherever they want to through books and poetry. In the last two lines, the frugal chariot is our imagination which takes us, the human soul, to lands we dream of.
