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... 

(Era el mejor de los tiempos, era el peor de los tiempos, era la edad de la sabiduría, era la edad de la estupidez, era la época de la convicción, era la época de la incredulidad, era la estación de la Luz, era la estación de la Oscuridad, era la primavera de la esperanza, era el invierno de la desesperación, teníamos todo delante nuestro, íbamos todos directos al Cielo, íbamos todos directamente en sentido contrario...)
