Emerson's Nature

One sentence within this essay that Emerson wrote that i found particularly strong and meaningful was, "I become a transparent eye-ball; I am nothing; I see all; the currents of the Universal Being circulate through me; i am part or particle of God."  This describes Emerson's feelings he has when he goes to the woods and leave his identity within society behind.  There is know one in the woods that can judge him, or disrupt the world that God created.  To him nature is pure and is the quintessence of what being one with God means to him.  Nature is the only thing left on earth in his view that has not been corrupted.  When he goes to the woods the problems in society like fortune, fame, and many different evils do not exist simple because nature is a whole different world apart from human corruption.  So, when he goes to the woods he slips out of his identify that the rest of society sees him to be and no longer exists as far as the rest of the humanity is concerned.  He becomes one with the purest form of the earth away from all materialistic corruption.
