Do not look in the bitter glass...

I also had the Mirror of Galadriel and Galadriel's advice to Sam in mind.

A philosophical question on the nature of decoration, raised at a celebration of the Spring Equinox in Nargothrond, in the years of (relative) peace.
A smal chant made up by the schoolboys of Minas Tirith to help remember the Quenya names of the tengwar.
