Which lines from the excerpt directly develop the idea that things are a burden?
"I sat before the flickering embers of the open fire, and looked out through the open door to the sea When I was very tired, I chanced to go away to a little house by the sea There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with its insistent, unchanging companionship And so I rested. While the spell was still unbroken, I came away. For broken it would have been, I know, had I not fled first."
