Which statement from “nature” best represents emerson’s philosophical vision as presented in the selection? * 1 point 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. then there is a kind of contempt of the landscape felt by him who has just lost by death a dear friend. in the wilderness, i find something more dear and connate than in the streets or villages. 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.
