COMPASS PLANT [ Also see Plants ] Look at this vigorous plant that lifts its head from the meadow,   See how its leaves are turned to the north, as true as the magnet;     This is the compass-flower, that the finger of God has planted       Here in the houseless wild, to direct the traveller's journey.         Over the sea-like, pathless, limitless waste of the desert,           Such in the soul of man is faith.       - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Evangeline          (pt. II, st. 4, l. 140) Last Revised: 2008 April 9 Copyright © 1999-2008 John C. Shepard. All Rights Reserved.
