The Sailor cannot see the North

The Sailor cannot see the North
Emily Dickinson wrote these words in a letter to a mentor asking him to tell her whether she was a decent poet: “The sailor cannot see the north, but knows the needle can.” Without clear introspective access, we are such sailors. But a fact of life in this century is that we have the needle -- in fact, several needles, the ones from science being the most obvious. These needles point toward the next (perhaps last?) frontier: that of allowing us to understand not just our place among other planets, our place among other species, but the very core of our nature. ` Page 265
