paying my humble and penniless tribute with joy to our magnificent host, the dearest Cliff (Am I going too far ? )

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd"

Alexander Pope "Eloisa to Abelard".
