It seems wonderful that so frail and lovely a plant has such power over human hearts. This Calypso meeting happened some forty-five years ago, and it was more memorable and impressive than any of my meetings with human beings excepting, perhaps, Emerson and one or two others. When I was leaving the University, Professor J.D. Butler said, "John, I would like to know what becomes o you, and I wish you would write me, say once a year, so I may keep you in sight." I wrote to the Professor, telling him about this meeting with Calypso, and he sent the letter to an Eastern newspaper [The Boston Recorder] with some comments of his own. These, as far as I know, were the first of my words that appeared in print. Explain how the bolded words above reveal Muir's attitude about nature. The bolded is: It seems wonderful that so frail and lovely a plant has such power over human hearts.

It kind of portrays that Muir loves plants and values them more than humans. Muir is basically saying that the meeting with the Calypso was better than any other meeting he/she had ever had with a human being and it was most memorable and impressive.
