Never lend anyone a valuable book

Read this excerpt from "Educate Yourself" by Marcus
Garvey
As stated before, books are one's best companions. Try to
get them and keep them. A method of doing so is every
time you have ten cents or twenty five cents or a doilar to
spend foolishly either on your friends of yourself. think
how much more useful that ten or twenty five cents or
dollar would be invested in a book and so invest it. It may
be just the thing you have been looking for to give you a
thought by which you may win the heart of the world. The
ten cent, twenty five cent or a dollar, therefore, may turn
out to be an investment of worth to the extent of a million
dollars. Never lend anybody the book that you want. You
will never get it back Nevet allow anybody to go to your
bookshelf in your absence because the very book that you
may want most may be taken from the shelt and you may
never be able to get one of the kind again
Save and Exit

the first proposition is to question economic materialism and victorian christianity. the lines are:

“it moves us not.—great god! i'd rather be

a pagan suckled in a creed outworn; ”

wordsworth is stating that nature no longer interests mankind, that the latter is not “moved” by it and explains that ancient western paganism had a more positive attitude concerning nature since it lacked the perv erted judaeo-christian interpretation of having received the world and all its animals and elements from god to use as we , instead of humans actually being not only part of nature but its wardens, meant to appreciate it and protect it.

the next lines are:

“so might i, standing on this pleasant lea,

have glimpses that would make me less forlorn;

have sight of proteus coming from the sea;

or hear old triton blow his wreathed horn.”

wordsworth here make it very clear that by actually looking and contemplating nature, human beings would reconnect with happiness, serenity and purpose. the use of mythological figures is quite evocative as well, proteus is a greek mythological god of the changing sea. he personifies the sea that changes, which symbolizes the way nature changes and inevitably can change to be destructive not only due to natural causes but to human pollution. furthermore, the sea is even more symbolic since all life originated in the sea so it is not only our past but our future since no life form in our planet can survive without water and if all water is destroyed in earth all life will be gone as well.

he then uses triton which is symbolic of the synthesis of both nature and mankind. triton is a mythological greek god that has the upper body of a man and the lower body of a fish (a merman). this human fish duality evokes the fact that humans are not only human but also part of nature, the fish tail representing nature. the main attribute of this god was that he used a conch shell as a horn to calm the roaring seas. in other words, triton uses nature through science for the benefit of human sailors who risk death during tempests. with the use of such metaphor, wordworth is conveying the message that human technology   is supposed to use nature to preserve nature and thereby humanity as well.

nobody can answer this if you dont show us the shapes

you need need more details so we can understand what your asking us.
