Rarely will a person be able to explain such a thing!
Apparently, generally speaking, we invert subject and verb (or DO as auxiliary) when a (near-) negative begins the sentence:
Never/Rarely/Seldom have I seen such a sight.
Rarely/seldom do you see such beauty.
So that is why I have written ‘Rarely will a person…’ (Although in truth, to a native speaker, they won’t know this ‘rule’, it will just sound ‘right’)
