"You are loosed from your moorings, and are free; I am fast in my chains, and am a slave! You move merrily before the gentle gale, and I sadly before the bloody whip! You are freedom's swift winged angels, that fly round the world; I am confined in bands of iron! O that I were free!"
These are the are the mourning words from Fredrick Douglass. His passion to seek freedom is pronounced effusively. Through his words, we are understanding the agony and journey Fredrick Douglass has been through, and where he deeply desired to be.
