I will honour Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
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.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness,
Heaven knows we need never be ashamed of our tears, for they are rain upon the blinding dust of earth, overlying our hard hearts.
