The correct answer to this open question is the following.
Unfortunately, you forgot to include the name of the poet.
Who is he/she? If we do not know who is he/she, we do not know what he said?
However, trying to help you, we can comment on the following.
Some poets and writers have commented that books can be compared to ships and trains in that these are means of transportation that take you to different parts of the world.
In that sense, when you read books, these can take you to many different places, not only around the globe but under the sea, above the sky, to the past or the future. This is so because reading books allow you to use your imagination and be in faraway places, in different times of history, to be part of great human events and discoveries, and so much more.
