Further Explanation:

The essays of Ralph Waldo Emerson focuses on the contemplation of the people when they are in solitude. In the essay "Nature" he focuses on the beauty of nature which can be perceived when the person is left with nature all alone. In another essay "Society and Solitude" he speaks about the beauty of nature which can be acquitted with only when the person abandons himself from society. He adds that nature provides a path for the people to have look in their soul. Hence, to walk on the path of towards Nature, a man needs to leave all the worldly and materialistic pleasures behind. The beauty and the peace which nature provides to the person can be only experienced when the person is in 'solitude'. At the same time, he notices that 'solitude' is impossible because the natural things are also present in the presence of other things. He concludes that complete isolation can't be reached. In this case, the individual needs to create a balance between the state of solitude and society. Suspicion is a basic notion which both nature and society build upon the mind of the person.
