It might look something like this! :crazyeye:
It was the best of times,
Maybe for the aristocracy, but certainly not for the peasants!
it was the worst of times,
And now you're contradicting yourself!
it was the age of wisdom,
Only if you think chopping people's heads off is wisdom
it was the age of foolishness,
Another contradiction
it was the epoch of belief,
belief in what?
it was the epoch of incredulity,
Not really
it was the season of Light,
No, I read somewhere that it wasn't actually very Light
it was the season of Darkness,
contradiction again
it was the spring of hope,
They do say hope springs eternal!
it was the winter of despair,
Sure, winter is depressing
we had everything before us,
Speak for yourself. I didn't.
we had nothing before us,
Another contradiction
we were all going direct to heaven,
Not another religion thread:cry:
we were all going direct the other way
Some of us, anyway
- in short, the period was so far like the present period,
Not realy
that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received,
Who are these "authorities"?
for good or for evil,
Mostly evil
in the superlative degree of comparison only.
Well that's good!




No real point to this, just a little rant about posts that break down everything line by line, with 10 or 20 different quote boxes.
 
I think we've discussed enough about quote wars in SF and elsewhere, so I will lock this thread.
