Education is the science of relations; that is, that a child has natural relations with a vast number of things and thoughts: so we must train him upon physical exercises, nature, handicrafts, science and art, and upon many living books; for we know that our business is, not to teach him all about anything, but to help him to make valid as many as may be of –
'Those first-born affinities
That ***fit*** our new existence to existing things.'

Стихотворные строчки - из раннего Wordsworth. На всякий случай вот более широкий стихотворный контекст:

"Other pleasures have been mine, and joys
Of subtler origin ; how I have felt,
Not seldom even in that tempestuous time,
Those hallowed and pure motions of the sense,
Which seem, in their simplicity, to own
An intellectual charm ; that calm delight
Which, if I err not, surely must belong
To those first-born affinities that fit
Our new existence to existing things,
And in our dawn of being constitute
The bond of union between life and joy."

А вообще-то книга о раннем развитии и о принципах образования.

Тот изначальный смысл, что воссоединяет наше бытие со всем что суще
