Welcome!

He came from the Asian spaces! Isn’t he a stranger then?
Well, indeed he’s ours… He’s certified!
A great feast for him! Make sausage centerpiece of the great meal!
Put melon and brandy on it, and the nectar of water straight from the tap!
Medical gentlemen look at the tyrant with trembling —
And smiling he compliments the funereal pomp of the enterprise.
(Borsszem Jankó, Budapest, 1884)
