The Correspondence between Nature and Spirit: Emerson holds that every natural fact is a symbol of some spiritual fact. Various phenomena in nature correspond to human mental states and spiritual experiences. For example, an angry person is described as "a lion", a cunning person is compared to "a fox", a determined person is like "a rock", and a learned person is regarded as "a torch". Such analogies and symbolic devices are not only a habit in language expression but also an embodiment of human thinking modes, reflecting the close connection between nature and spirit in the process of human understanding of the world.
