While some might argue that is is Thoreau's view of nature, I would like to disagree. Emerson is the one who speaks of the little things in life being what he enjoys the most. This shows taking a step back from the world and just enjoying the sight, a sunrise in the snow. Depending on your mood, you shall see this as a peaceful, quiet place or, a sad, lonely place. Both are true, just adapted to your own personal view. Emerson said something along those lines in his book Nature. He said, "but the same scene which yesterday breathed perfume and glittered as for the frolic of the nymphs, overspread with melancholy (this is my favorite word by the way :3) today." (Emerson, 242) What I understood from this is that the same picture can give off completely different feelings depending on your view that day.
