Here is a excerpt taken from an essay on Emerson at the sited web location:
"Parts of speech are metaphors because the whole of nature is a metaphor of the human mind." The visible world is, he says in a celebrated metaphor, "the dial plate of the invisible" world. This is the full, Transcendental, Schellingian belief that nature and the human mind are in all things related, that mind is the subjective equivalent of the world, world the objective version of mind.
In other words, Emerson's remarks express that while the world is objective and can not be changed by the mind,the mind views the world subjectively and so is not confined by the existential objectivity the material world.

Since Emerson was a romantic, he didn't have much use for it.
