1. Emerson now outlines three main points concerning our use of nature's beauty: its medicinal qualities, its spiritual elements, and its intellectual properties.
2. This metaphor shows how humans and nature act differently.

In
the book there is a part where Odysseus makes it back to his homeland
where he meets with the goddess Athene. She herself was disguised as
a young shepherd to approach him and then reveals to him her true
identity. She then disguises Odysseus to take back his home.

master of disguises and no one likes to look too closely at beggars
anyway.
