Hello all,  
I am seeking your help. I have a simple web page in HTML with a little CSS for styling some text. I want to display three lines of text in sequence, each appearing on the screen before fading away and being replaced with the next line of text. The last line of text should remain on the page.

Is there a simple CSS or HTML way to do this?
