An albatross symbolizes a dead weight, or a burden (emotionally, obviously). The origin of this stems from the belief that killing an albatross would bring bad luck to sailors, most popularly from The Rime of the Ancient Mariner, where an albatross is hung from the neck of a sailor who killed it. Some may consider obstacles they struggle to overcome to be an albatross, or even themselves if they feel that they are 'weighing others down', in a sense. Inversely though, albatrosses can also mean good luck, although this is used less commonly than the former.

Answer:
The <u>first passage</u> represents nature as something wild and dangerous, by describing the yucca tree with some risky, violent and dangerous words, which are used to warn us about this plant and its characteristics.
On the other hand, the <u>second passage</u> represents nature as something soft, calm, and beautiful, by describing daffodils. Daffodils are represented as something delicate and beautiful, so the vision of nature is quite different from the first passage. In this case, nature is described as something soft and wonderful, completely different from <em>bayonet-pointed leaves</em> and a <em>fence of daggers</em>.
