Death is the ugly fact which Nature has to hide, and she hid

Summary

This quote suggests that death is an unpleasant and harsh reality that exists in nature, yet it is concealed and disguised. Nature, through its beauty and intricacies, masks the inevitability of death, making it more incomprehensible and mysterious. It implies that nature intentionally veils the morbid aspect, perhaps to prevent humans from being overwhelmed by the concept of mortality, and instead focuses on portraying life's vibrant and enchanting aspects.
