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."

    There was nothing in the house to demand care, to claim attention, to cumber my consciousness with it's insistent, unchanging companionship.

    Explanation:

    This line in the passage shows that the things in the house are a burden. There was nothing in the house that could give care or attention to the people and were all materialistic things.

    All this tells us that the things were not to be with the people and were all materialistic. They could not give companionship, love and care to the people and were only considered as a burden.
