Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 24 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
Great God! what a scene has just taken place! I am yet dizzy with the remembrance of it. I hardly know whether I shall have the power to detail it; yet the tale which I have recorded would be incomplete without this final and wonderful catastrophe.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
He paused, looking on me with wonder, and again turning towards the lifeless form of his creator, he seemed to forget my presence, and every feature and gesture seemed instigated by the wildest rage of some uncontrollable passion.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
