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,

Es war die beste der Zeiten, es war die schlimmste der Zeiten, es war die Ära der Weisheit, es war die Ära der Dummheit, es war die Epoche des Glaubens, es war die Epoche des Unglaubens, es war die Zeit des Lichts, es war die Zeit der Finsternis, es war der Frühling der Hoffnung, es war der Winter der Verzweiflung,
