I had never seen material possessions at a more irreducible minimum.

我从未见过最低限度的物质财产。

I do not know the irreducible minimum of happiness for any other spirit than my own. It is impossible to be certain even of mine. Yet I believe that I know my tangible desideratum. It is a tree-top against a patch of sky.

我不知道除我自己以外的任何其他精神的不可减少的最低幸福。甚至我也无法确定。然而我相信我知道我有形的渴望。它是一片天空的树梢。
