Here's the birthday wish I promised you. It's a bit of spoken blank verse from The Sorcerer:

May Fortune bless you! May the middle distance Of your young life be pleasant as the foreground— The joyous foreground! And, when you have reached it, May that which is the far-off horizon (But which will then become the middle distance), In fruitful promise be exceeded only By that which will have opened, in the meantime, Into a new and glorious horizon!
