I wonder if this year, when we open the door, Eliyahu, the bearer of good tidings, will be there

Another Pesach approaches, and I wonder if this year, when we open the door, Eliyahu, the bearer of good tidings, will be there. Perhaps because we are deserving, perhaps because the time has come — or just because we’re still waiting, still hoping, because we poured him a cup and we’re peering down the hall.
