Explanation:

The essay "Nature" by Ralph Waldo Emerson talks of the importance of nature for the development of man. This essay became one of the leading forces for the foundation of the transcendentalism movement.

The first chapter of the essay gave details of the help that nature provides to humans, including their spiritual needs and growth. The fourth paragraph starts with Emerson stating that "few adult persons can see nature". He then continues talking of how nature is to him, how it helps him and how he feels "in the woods, is perpetual youth". Ending the paragraph with "In the tranquil landscape,  and especially in the distant line of the horizon, man beholds somewhat as beautiful as his own nature", he concludes the importance and significance of nature in the life of man.

Thus, the best summation of the fourth paragraph will be

Truly experiencing and absorbing the beauty of nature can have a healing effect on the mind and body.
