Lacking a cork.

  • It did not see daylight again until it was unpacked, together with its comrades, in the cellar of a wine merchant; and then for the first time it was rinsed out — that was an odd sensation. It then lay empty and corkless, and felt strangely dull, as if it lacked something, though it didn't know what.1858, Hans Christian Andersen, The Bottle Neck:
