A Tale of Two Cities

«I see that child who lay upon her bosom and who bore my name, a man winning his way up in that path of life which once was mine. I see him winning it so well, that my name is made illustrious there by the light of his. I see the blots I threw upon it, faded away. I see him, fore-most of just judges and honoured men, bringing a boy of my name, with a forehead that I know and golden hair, to this place– then fair to look upon, with not a trace of this day's disfigurement

-and I hear him tell the child my story, with a tender and a faltering voice.

«It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known.»
