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"

Read this excerpt from we’ve got a job: the 1963 children’s march. though connor was commissioner of public safety, blacks knew that it wasn't their health and safety he intended to protect. and he certainly didn't put out their fires. between the late 1940s and early 1960s, more than fifty black homes and churches in birmingham were bombed. one neighborhood was hit so often, it was called "dynamite hill." no one was ever prosecuted, even when the police could identify the bombers. what is the tone of the excerpt? inquisitive sentimental apologetic scornful
