Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 11 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"It was dark when I awoke; I felt cold also, and half frightened, as it were, instinctively, finding myself so desolate. Before I had quitted your apartment, on a sensation of cold, I had covered myself with some clothes, but these were insufficient to secure me from the dews of night. I was a poor, helpless, miserable wretch; I knew, and could distinguish, nothing; but feeling pain invade me on all sides, I sat down and wept.
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 11.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
