My friends, I have come to you from a faraway land
of sand and palm upon a voyage of discovery,
and I count myself fortunate above all men,
for upon this my first night in your land
I have been taken to your leader, King Peyote,
and have been raised up instead of put down,
and have been shown the wonders of the world
which are presently turning red before me
and falling like a waterfall.
