"The World Is Too Much With Us" is William Wordsworth's poem, published in 1807. The poem deals with our lost relationship with nature. The speaker's tone is judgmental, yet sad because nature is taken for granted.
<em>“Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: / Little we see in Nature that is ours"</em>
In this particular line, the speaker expresses his opinion that people waste their talents while 'getting and spending'. We live in the world of wrong values, and spend our time on things that are not really important.

Frederick Douglass was a former slave who, after becoming a free man, was an abolitionist, a writer and an orator. He was only able to learn how to read at age 12 and he would read whatever he could find: poems, newspapers, books, political pamphlets... He also owned a private library at home. Douglass believed that what he could learn from books could never be taken away from him - it would make him more aware and knowledgeable and that meant freedom to him. That said, this is the main parallel between his old life (as a slave), his new life (as a free man) and the books he read (which would enable him to learn new things on a daily basis): all those situations mentioned above meant freedom to Douglass.
