Did you know? The phrase 'warmly' has been used in various contexts, including literature and poetry, to convey a sense of affection and hospitality. In Shakespeare's 'A Midsummer Night's Dream', the character Puck says, 'If we shadows have offended, think but this, and all is mended: that you have but slumbered here, while these visions did appear: and this weak and idle theme, no more yielding but a dream, gentlemen, with all my heart, I'll pay this debt, and yet I'll be merry, and warm my heart with this.'
