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,

O, en iyi zamanlar ve en kötü zamanlar yaşanıyordu, bilgelik çağı ve akılsızlık çağı, inancın çağı ve inanmamakların çağı, ışığın mevsimi ve karanlığın mevsimi, umudun baharı ve umutsuzluğun kışı...
