The world is too much with us; late and soon,
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers;
Little we see in Nature that is ours;
We have given our hearts away, a sordid boon!
from “The World is Too Much With Us” by William Wordsworth, 1802.
Own less. Live more. Finding minimalism in a world of consumerism.
