This is a metaphor which compares aunt Georgiana to the moss. Clark is saying how Georgiana is growing after being placed in a opera house. This metaphor establishes Clark's point of view as it shows what he thinks about the situation.

When Thoreau says "because they are physically the strongest" he means that the majority is in the rule not because it is fair or just but rather they are literally stronger than an individual. He also goes into detail arguing even more about why majority rule is not fair in this paragraph where he says that a majority’s rule cannot be just, when they vote for what is right or wrong it's only the answer that gets more votes disregarding what one individual might think because the majority has already made up its mind.

In the phrase, Thoreau's acceptance of the motto displays his ideal which is a government that governs least is the best. This indicates that Thoreau believes that a government should focus on it's individuals rather than an entire government. The phrase also illustrates Thoreau thinking that the less governed governments put more respect and trust into their citizens which is what Thoreau wants as he has a very strong individualist belief.

This is an example of Romanticism because the era believed in the importance of the individual, and this line is Thoreau stating that the individual has more power having his own ideas and speaking about them than rather join a group's ideas and having theirs rendered useless.
