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 seasons of light.it was the seasons of darkness; it was spring of hope,it was the winter of despair; we had everything before us,we had nothing before us;we were all
going to heaven,we were all going direct the other way. --- A Tale Of Two Cities.

Best and worst,wisdom and foolishness,belief and incredulity,light and darkness,hope and despair.All these feeling contain nearly all aspect of life. And the author change the word--times ,ages,epoch,seasons,spring. The control of the word is quite strong ,therefore,the sentence is great.
