A Tale of Two Cities

by Charles Dickens

It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair,

The leprosy of unreality disfigured every human creature in attendance upon Monseigneur.

If the Day of Judgment had only been ascertained to be a dress day, everybody there would have been eternally correct.

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."
