one silken thread

incandescensAfter tiring day, spent a while trying to persuade new dvd player into action. Failed so far, but believe matter can be remedied via purchase of SCART-Coax adaptor. Will attempt to see to this when I have a few minutes to spare.
Tired.

The Spider's Web
The spider, dropping down from twig,
Unfolds a plan of her devising,
A thin premeditated rig
To use in rising.
And all that journey down through space,
In cool descent and loyal hearted,
She spins a ladder to the place
From where she started.
Thus I, gone forth as spiders do
In spider's web a truth discerning,
Attach one silken thread to you
For my returning.
