This is the best of times, and the worst of times;
This is the age of wisdom, and the age of foolishness;
This is the epoch of belief, and the epoch of incredulity;
This is the season of Light, and the season of Darkness;
This is the spring of hope, and the winter of despair;
We have everything before us, and we have nothing before us;
We are all going direct to Heaven, and we are all going direct the other way.
