Question

read this quotation from chapter i of nature. to speak truly, few adult persons can see nature. which sentence from nature best supports emersons claim? i am glad to the brink of tear. nature is a setting that fits equally well a comic or a mourning piece. the sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child. in the woods too, a man casts off his years, as the snake his slough, and at what period soever of life, is always a child

Explanation:

The claim is that few adult persons can see nature. The sentence "The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child" implies that adults only see nature on a surface - level (with their eyes), while children have a deeper, more heartfelt connection with it, thus supporting the idea that adults don't truly 'see' nature.

Answer:

The sun illuminates only the eye of the man, but shines into the eye and the heart of the child
