n his essay “Nature”, Ralph Waldo Emerson is of the view that nature and the beauty of nature can only be understood by a man when he is in solitude. It is only in solitude that a man realizes the significance of nature because he is far away from the hustled life he is accustomed to live since childhood.
Emerson is of the view that nature gives a human being so much; the sun, the trees, place to live and in return the man gives nothing as a result of which the balance of nature is disturbed. It is extremely essential for a man to take himself away from the distractions of the society to understand the importance of nature and what nature has to offer.
Emerson in his essay “Nature” creates a common ground metaphorically and in an abstract sense speaks to each and every man. Emerson is of the opinion that we take nature and its beauty for granted, for example, we take stars for granted because we know that wherever we go, the stars will be with us. What Emerson makes clear is that though we can see the stars and they are accessible, they are only accessible visibly.
The truth is that we cannot access the stars because of the great distance between the stars and the Earth. Similarly, we also cannot access the nature, we do not know what it is all about because of the reason that we think that we are in touch with nature ,but actually we are not ,due to our busy lives.'
