The following passage is one of the reasons I enjoy readin “A tale of Two Cities” so much. I just really enjoy descriptive way Dickens wrote it.
“The faintness of the voice was pitiable and dreadful. It was not the faintness of physcial weakness, though confinemnet and hard fare no doubt had their part in it. Its deplorable peculiartity was, that it was the faintness of solitude and disuse. It was like the last feeble echo of a sound made long and long ago. So entirely had it lost the life and resonance of the human voice, that it affected the senses like a once beautiful colour faded away into a poor weak stain. So sunken and suppressed it was, that it was like a voice underground. So expressive it was. of a hopeless and lost creature, that a famished traveller, wearied out by lonley wandering in a wilderness, would have rememberered home and friends in such a tone before lying down to die. “-Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
