Emerson: Nature
I really admire Emerson as he describes his opinions on people's views of nature. He is very truthful and goes on to say, "few adult persons can see nature. Most persons do not see the sun. At least they have a very superficial seeing. The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and heart of the child." I am always able to respect those who speak what is truly on their mind, even if he is somewhat describing me, given that I am an adult man. a person should not take offense to this given the experiences and knowledge that Emerson has acquired. The writing speaks to readers beautifully and reminds us that there are people out there who see the world in a much different light.

The way Emerson writes about Nature is indeed very beautiful. He appeals to his readers through beautiful language and imagery, even when that language is very difficult to understand sometimes. I enjoyed his opinions and his transcendentalist approach to life.
