"Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains"
(Jean-Jacques Rousseau )

Rousseau had lived a poor life full of hardship and travelled all over observing the inequalities among the rich and poor and the differnet lifestyles. This led him to write a famous book of hia known as [U]Discourse on the Origin and Basis of Inequality Among Men. [/U]

Rousseau saw a fundamental divide between society and human nature. He contended that man was neither inherently good nor bad when in the state of nature (the state of all other animals, and the condition humankind was in before the creation of civilization and society) , but is corrupted by society.
He claims that as humans were forced to associate together more closely by the pressure of population growth, they underwent a psychological transformation and came to value the good opinion of others as an essential component of their own well-being. Rousseau associated this new self-awareness with a golden age of human flourishing. However, the development of agriculture, metallurgy, private property, and the division of labor led to humans becoming increasingly dependent on one another, and led to inequality. The resulting state of conflict led Rousseau to suggest that the first state was invented as a kind of social contract made at the suggestion of the rich and powerful. This original contract was deeply flawed as the wealthiest and most powerful members of society tricked the general population, and thus instituted inequality as a fundamental feature of human society. Rousseau's own conception of the social contract can be understood as an alternative to this form of association.
In his famous work [U]The Social Contract[/U] he begins by saying "Man is born free, and everywhere he is in chains. One man thinks himself the master of others, but remains more of a slave than they are." Rousseau claimed that the state of nature was a primitive condition without law or morality, which human beings left for the benefits and necessity of cooperation. As society developed, division of labour and private property required the human race to adopt institutions of law. In the degenerate phase of society, man is prone to be in frequent competition with his fellow men while at the same time becoming increasingly dependent on them. This double pressure threatens both his survival and his freedom. According to Rousseau, by joining together through the social contract and abandoning their claims of natural right, individuals can both preserve themselves and remain free. This is because submission to the authority of the general will of the people as a whole guarantees individuals against being subordinated to the wills of others and also ensures that they obey themselves because they are, collectively, the authors of the law.

I am obliged to you all.

A clarion is a curved trumpet from the middle ages; sound of a clarion trumpet; clear loud sound (like that of a trumpet) so Longfellow here means that a writing has a strength to become a very significant voice. A number of examples to support this saying can be given from history where written works have influenced the society and even played significant role in changing the history of nations. Poetry of Allama Iqbal can be a good example as well.

based on the legend of Don Juan
[B]Context:
[/B]Then there were sighs, the deeper for suppression,
[I]And stolen glances, sweeter for the theft,[/I]
And burning blushes, though for no transgression,
Tremblings when met, and restlessness when left;
All these are little preludes to possession,
Of which young Passion cannot be bereft,
And merely tend to show how greatly Love is
Embarrassed at first starting with a novice.
