Some chapters among my go-to on-line English translation aren't as obviously about enoughness for this thread.

Later I'll see Ursula LeGuin's work that avoids the gendered pronouns.

> A small country.. fewer people.
Though there are machines that can work ten to a hundred times faster than man, they are not needed. The people take death seriously and do not travel far. Though they have boats and carriages, no on uses them..
Their food is plain and good, their clothes fine but simple, their homes secure;
They are happy in their ways.. they leave each other in peace while they grow old and die.
