Well, I don't exactly get how "love or order" equals “conquering nature.”

I will make a stab … You can appreciate the order of the nature as it's wonderousness unfolds to define the existence and experience of “being” from one moment to the next. To the extent you view nature as something that has an instrumental form that contains elements of potential volatility you may seek to seek to reign it in, order it, and thus maintain dominion over it. However, there is also an internal nature that exists in juxtaposition with one’s experience with the external forces and forms that be.

So, to the extent that one conquers the nature (wilderness) within, there is an acceptance of the nature without rather than a desire to conquer it.
