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
A Tale of Two Cities (1859) - Charles Dickens

Daily Literature Deviations is a group that is dedicated to bringing literature to the forefront of the deviantArt community. We attempt to accomplish this by daily featuring Literature artists from around the community that deserve the recognition, but are not getting it.
