"Man is his own star; and the soul that can
Render an honest and a perfect man,
Commands all light, all influence, all fate;
Nothing to him falls early or too late.
Our acts our angels are, or good or ill,
Our fatal shadows that walk by us still."
Dear Diary: Self Reliance by. Emerson portrays man as the guidance of himself. It personifys shadows as people saying "the walk by us still" showing whever one goes the one thing to always follow will be our shadow. Emerson also takes "star" and creates a man from it, therefore connecting nature to man making them equal.
