Negative capability is not
A basket that bore hens’ eggs yesterday
And will carry tomatoes tomorrow
Is not empty today

An empty basket is a positive space
Which is laden with possibilities
A book, a dream, a hope, a picnic lunch
And thus quite full today

There is no emptiness within its strands
Slews
Wales
Stakes
Bye-stakes
Upsetts
Fitches
For we will fill our baskets with good things
