"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, 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".
Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities

Pasqua, I like your blog very much. It´s so entertaining for those of us who love English literature; it really helps us to remember lots of things.
