"The sea did what it liked, and what it liked was destruction" Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities [link to www.google.com]
Knitting is a symbol for death in A Tale of Two Cities. Madame Defarge knits the names and faces into the "register" of who she and the other revolutionaries are going to kill. This is a historical reference, as it is said that beheadings had become so commonplace in Revolutionary France that women were said to be knitting outside public trials and a head rolled by, and they didn't even look up

"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" Charles Dickens, A Tale of Two Cities
