See spirals all in twisting ropes,
and knots that pull and strain;
they will not tear, nor ever loose,
nor well convince the brain.
“I am a knot…
am I not?”
Pulled all each way and every one,
so balanced, yes, and still,
but what to do if fibers tear,
and how direct a will?
“Absolute strain,
terrible equilibrium.”
And should a single line be cut,
or if a rope should tear,
would all this net work fall apart,
or make itself new there?
