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,

Era il miglior dei tempi, era il peggiore dei tempi, era l'epoca della saggezza, era l'epoca della follia, era l'epoca della fede, era l'epoca dell'incredulità, era la stagione della luce, era la stagione delle tenebre, era la primavera della speranza, era l'inverno della disperazione,
