A. INTRODUCTION
“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 wayin 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 in A Tale of Two Cities
