Mauve Rhapsody

To live content with small means.
To see elegance rather than luxury,
and refinement rather than fashion
To be worthy, not respectable
and wealthy, not rich.
In a word, to let the spiritual,
unbidden and unconscious,
grow up through the common
This is to be my symphony. 

-William Ellery Channing
