We Have Read Your Manuscript With Boundless Delight.

We have read your manuscript with boundless delight. If we were
to publish your paper, it would be impossible for us to publish
any work of lower standard. And as it is unthinkable that in the
next thousand years we shall see its equal, we are, to our regret,
compelled to return your divine composition, and to beg you a
thousand times to overlook our short sight and timidity.
