White Tree The Downer and the Tree

Then Saucepan hit Reply, and there was a box in front of him white like newly fallen snow and skirted by codes and smilies; and as he looked he was aware that there among the icons another thing had appeared. And he scrolled to it, and saw that at the very end of the line of icons there sprang a sapling tree no more than a centimetre high. Already it had put forth small branches, silver against the dark behind, and upon each slender branch it bore a small flower shining white like the click button next to it.

Then Saucepan cried: "Yé! utúvienyes! I have found it! Lo! here is a scion of the Eldest of Trees! But how comes it here? For it was not here when I visited the site earlier today."

And the Barrow-Wight coming looked at it, and said: "Verily this is an image of the creation of Helen the fair. Who shall say how it comes here in the appointed hour? Well I could, but you wouldn't understand if I did. It's something to do with coding. But it makes a rather nice addition to the icons, don't you think?"
Good job, Helen.
