woven basket

Line after line the poem intricately woven of sound and rhetoric, a beautiful basket that could hold anything or nothing at all.

    Hollowed out,
    clay makes a pot.
    Where the pot's not
    is where it's useful.

    —Lao-tzu, Tao Te Ching
    tr. Ursula Le Guin

    (Works for baskets, too...)
