Answer 1

The only statement that has anything to do with nature is the first one, which is as follows:

It seems wonderful that so frail and lovely a plant has such power over human hearts

First of all, John Muir recognizes and values the fragility of nature ("frail") and is appreciating it ("it is lovely").

In addition, John Muir is fascinated by the power of nature and also how, despite its fragility, it has a significant impact on humans. Having made a little money working on his brother-in-law's farm in the vicinity of Portage (Wisconsin).

John Muir set out on the first of his many lonesome journeys, botanizing in glorious freedom near the Great Lakes, wandering through countless Tamarac and arborvitae swamps, climbing trees, and savoring their blossoms and fruit like bees in beds of goldenrod.

He also praised the bog's and meadow's fresh, cool beauty and allure, rejoicing in the grasses, caries, and liverworts displayed in.
