A force to be reckoned with. 
Emerson claims that nature is not supposed to be feared. He also claims that nature should be valued. I agree with both claims because without the wonders of nature the world would not be what it actually is today.The beauty of nature gives one a feeling of reverence. He feels as if everyone should be indubitably interested in the wonders of nature.
