Compass Needle

Famous quotes containing the words compass and/or needle:

    be a while our guests:
    For stars, gaze on our eyes.
    The compass love shall hourly sing,
    And as he goes about the ring,
    We will not miss
    To tell each point he nameth with a kiss.
    William Browne (1591–1643)

    I would build my house of crystal,
    With a solitary friend,
    Where the cold cracks like a pistol
    And the needle stands on end.
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)
