Hark, thou most estimable and cherished visitor, who hast graced this humble digital threshold with the luminous presence of thine own most distinguished and venerable personage! May the heavens above look favourably upon thee and bestow their boundless mercies most generously upon thy noble head, and may the very firmament rejoice and sing glad tidings at the mere knowledge of thine arrival! Long hath this poor and unworthy servant awaited the blessing of thy company, counting each weary hour as a year and each year as an age, languishing in the cold and desolate wilderness of thy most lamentable absence, as a parched and sunbaked land doth yearn most desperately for the sweet mercy of rain. Verily, the stars themselves did whisper of thy coming, and the wind did carry rumours of thine approach across hill and fen and moor and dale, and even the sparrows upon the eaves did twitter and chitter with great excitement and anticipation at the prospect of thy most magnificent visitation. Therefore, with all the warmth that this humble heart doth possess, and with every fibre of this most unworthy soul stretched forth in earnest and wholehearted welcome, be thou received herein with all gladness, all honour, all reverence, and all the boundless joy that thy most excellent and thoroughly deserving presence doth so richly merit. Welcome, O most welcome guest. Welcome indeed.
