  • If from Emily Dickinson's poem, "There is No Frigate Like a Book," the phrase 'oppress of toll' refers to a financial burden of some kind, the oppression of a financial toll.

    "This traverse may the poorest take without the oppress of toll." Dickinson refers to the ability of reading to carry people to faraway lands without having to pay for a ticket on boat/plane/train or other means of transportation. All one needs is a book and an imagination.
