"Entertaining angels unawares: It is always we who are to entertain the
angels, and never they us. I cannot, however, think that an angel would be
a very
entertaining person, either as guest or host."
-Samuel Butler (1835=E2=80=931902) British author

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to

Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her
iniquity is pardoned. The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prep
are ye the
way of the Lord, make straight in the desert a highway for our God.

-Georg Friedrich H=C3=A4ndel (1685-1759)
Messiah
(Isaiah 40 : 1-3)
