What analogy is emerson proposing in this passage?
man is timid and apologetic; he is no longer upright; he dares not say 'i think,' 'i am,' but quotes some saint or sage. he is ashamed before the blade of grass or the blowing rose. these roses under my window make no reference to former roses or to better ones; they are for what they are; they exist with god to-day. there is no time to them. there is simply the rose; it is perfect in every moment of its existence. before a leaf-bud has burst, its whole life acts; in the full-blown flower there is no more; in the leafless root there is no less. its nature is satisfied, and it satisfies nature, in all moments alike. but man postpones or remembers; he does not live in the present, but with reverted eye laments the past, or, heedless of the riches that surround him, stands on tiptoe to foresee the future. he cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time. — ralph waldo emerson, from "self reliance"

What effect is created by the plaque posted on the gate at the entrance to the family's home in nadine gordimer's "once upon a time"? the words written on the plaque offer readers a foreshadowing of the story's outcome without revealing the actual conclusion, the author's use of flashback allows readers to understand what is at the heart of the issues of encroachment in the suburban neighborhood the repetition of the words written on the plaque presents an oxymoron because readers already sense that the plaque has been ineffective in warding off intruders. the author introduces a paradox in which readers are presented with a warning notice when no actual infraction has taken place.
