Emerson compares nature to people and often shows that nature can truly only be compared to the wisest of men. The essay Nature states “Nature never wears a mean appearance. Neither does the wisest man extort her secret, and lose his curiosity by finding out all her perfection.” This comparison between nature and the wisest man shows that while it is easy for nature to comprehend the importance of not showing malice to the outside world, only certain people can comprehend this.
