I'll share my favorite version of #35 so we can see how it talks about this blandness of Tao:
By Gia Fu Feng #35
All men will come to him who keeps to the one,
For there lie rest and happiness and peace.
Passersby may stop for music and good food,
But a description of the Tao
Seems without substance or flavor.
It cannot be seen, it cannot be heard,
And yet it cannot be exhausted.
