A Tale of Two Cities
'It was the best of times,it was the worst of times,it was... in short ,the period was so far like the present period that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being recieved, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only.'

Hi Coloraday,
Wow, that's deep stuff! And Dickens knew how to shell it out.
