Imitation of Charles Dickons

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 way - Charles Dickons


The above quote was from Charles Dickons, and the following will be my imitation piece on, "It was the Best of Times".


It was the most frightening of occasions, it was the most exhilarating of occasions, it was the age of happiness, it was the age of depression, it was the time of faith, it was the time of refusal, it was the season of life, it was the season of death, it was the celebration of new beginnings, it was the mourning of old endings, we could see all around us, we couldn't see a single thing, we were walking a straight path, we were detouring into the woods.
