Close is not a closed concept

The word “dense” is one of those words in the Dutch language, which have multiple meanings. When these words are used, the reader or hear should always think about the correct interpretation, even if only a fraction of a second. To explain the poem below, I would like to use this encyclo.nl .

To begin with, this word can have the meaning of “closed”, “contiguous”, “compact” or “unopened”. The passage is then completely blocked.

With “without much gap” we come in the direction of “thick”, “narrow” and “compact”. In that case, almost nothing can get through. The word “close” is also closely linked to this.
