Saruman has sent this smouldering temptress into our midst

"Aragorn, we are in no position to turn away friends, no matter how disturbingly attractive you may find them."

In other news, good day.

Also, proved myself capable of being able to find yarn even while buying washing powder and washing-up-liquid. (Okay, so it was cheap fancy yarn. It was still quite pretty. And note the cheap.)

The Clod and the Pebble

Love seeketh not Itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care;
But for another gives its ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair.

So sang a little Clod of Clay,
Trodden with the cattle's feet:
But a pebble of the brook,
Warbled out these metres meet.

Love seeketh only Self to please,
To bind another to Its delight:
Joys in another's loss of ease,
And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite.

-- William Blake
