What the Dickens!

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...

I was looking up something for work this morning when, accidentally, I rediscovered these lines. My first thought was that, as much as it’s from A Tale of Two Cities, it also holds up as a pretty good description of bi-polarity. I’m surprised I didn’t think of this before! Anyway, so, I looked it up on a hunch and, right enough, he is also suspected to have had it! :-)
