What is Emerson's style as well as his literary techniques in chapter 3 of his text Nature?

Emerson employs
logos, appealing to his audience's logical faculties, to discuss
the beauty of nature: its source, its appearance, and its effects. He presents his arguments
quite logically, such as when he describes the laws of light and how perspective is produced.
His is also precise and somewhat formalthough not stilted or
without emotionlending further to his logical presentation of these ideas.

He
also speaks from his own personal experience, not restricting his
comments to the merely rational. He employs when he describes the
sight of the sunrise from his house: "The long slender bars of cloud float like fishes in
the sea of crimson light. From the earth, as a shore, I look out into that silent sea."
This is a good example of visual imagery, as he describes the beautiful and colorful
sight.

Further, in this and other descriptions, he employs
similes, comparing the clouds to fish, the light to the sea, and
the earth to the shore.
