A Tale of Two Cities
Author: Charles Dickens
Teaser:
Waste forces within him, and a desert all around, this man stood still on his way across a silent terrace, and saw for a moment, lying in the wilderness before him, a mirage of honourable ambition, self-denial, and perseverance. In the fair city of this vision, there were airy galleries from which the loves and graces looked upon him, gardens in which fruits of life hung ripening, waters of hope that sparkled in his sight. A moment, and it was gone. Climbing to a high chamber in a well of houses, he threw himself down in his clothes on a neglected bed, and its pillow was wet with wasted tears,My Thoughts: So far I'm not enjoying this one as much as Great Expectations, but it does have it's moments and bursts of really great writing so I am pushing through and enjoying the good moments as them come :).
