Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 19 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
But he found that a traveller's life is one that includes much pain amidst its enjoyments. His feelings are for ever on the stretch; and when he begins to sink into repose, he finds himself obliged to quit that on which he rests in pleasure for something new, which again engages his attention, and which also he forsakes for other novelties.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 19.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
