ReplyDelete"Yet it is certain that the power to produce this delight, does not reside in nature, but in man, or in a harmony of both."
According to Emmerson, the relationship between humans and nature is simple. Nature is a balance that when returned to, can inspire humans back to simplicity, back to nature. Humanity has the complete power to produce delight, just sometimes there is a need for a push from nature to inspire themselves. Therefore it resides in man and a harmony of both man and nature.

-According to Emerson, the relation ship between humans and nature is that of a poor crippled person, suffering many tragedies and violence against himself in his life, finding an eternal sanctuary that will harbor, protect and heal him for as long as he intends to stay (if not forever). Basically the woods are a safe haven for weary people whom have suffered in the 'civilized' world, the woods are a place of healing.

ReplyDelete"Then, there is a kind of contempt of the landscape felt by him who has just lost by death a dear friend."
According to Emerson, the relationship between humans and nature is that nature connects to man and feel the emotions of each other. Since the man lost a friend, he scorns nature for it, and he feels the landscape differently as a result of it.

ReplyDeleteaccording to Emerson the relationship between humans and nature is "... will separate him from vulgar things..." i think that he is talking about how everyone is sort of self centered and they could go out into nature and soak it all in,and come back a better person.

According to Emerson, the relationship is humans feel free in nature. Its a remedy for our day-to-day lives. In the middle of the woods, a person is free to truly be themself, no judgment, and in this we become young again. Not physically, but at heart.

ReplyDelete"In the woods,we return to reason and faith."
According to Emerson the relationship between humans and nature is a way to think only about the truth.
In this quote Emerson, in my opinion, means that on the nature we forget about all the problems and all the things that are not really necessary to our life and doing this we can really think about the true meaning of what happens.
In this freedom of thinking we find hope and this hope makes us fell more close to God.

ReplyDelete"In the tranquil landscape, and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature."
According to Emerson, the relationship between humans and nature is that when humans are with nature, they become tranquil and pure. The nature makes humans remember their roots and it frees them from the things that make them not be a unique and pure person.
"In the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child. In the woods, is perpetual youth." According to Emerson, when someone enters nature, they return to a childlike mindset, or to what they were before they were shaped by others. They return to their purest form of themselves.

ReplyDelete"Within these plantations of God, a decorum and sanctity reign, a perennial festival is dressed, and the guest sees not how he should tire of them in a thousand years. In the woods, we return to reason and faith. There I feel that nothing can befall me in life,-no disgrace,no calamity,(leaving me my eyes,) which nature cannot repair."
Emerson, In this quote, is saying how the beauty of nature can give reassurance and hope. The feeling being in the woods distracts you from all the troubles in your mind and give you inner peace making you forget your surroundings or what's going on in your life. Nature is a beautiful distraction from God and his gift to us.

ReplyDelete"Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection."
According to Emerson, the relationship between humans and nature is a neutral yet everlasting one, wherein people use nature to learn and grow. Although Nature can be inhospitable, it is never directly towards the human, it is simply nature. People must always strive to discover .
