"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it

incredulity, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had
everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to
Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far like
the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being
received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only."
