Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 7 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
The road ran by the side of the lake, which became narrower as I approached my native town. I discovered more distinctly the black sides of Jura, and the bright summit of Mont Blanc. I wept like a child. "Dear mountains! my own beautiful lake! how do you welcome your wanderer? Your summits are clear; the sky and lake are blue and placid. Is this to prognosticate peace, or to mock at my unhappiness?"
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 7.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
