TEXT II
| 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 | |
| 5 | 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 the | |
| other way – in short, the period was so far like the present | |
| period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its | |
| 10 | being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative |
| degree of comparison only. |
(DICKENS, Charles. A Tale of Two Cities. Penguin Books, 1994.)
