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.
I was answered through the stillness of night by a loud and fiendish laugh. It rang on my ears long and heavily; the mountains re-echoed it, and I felt as if all hell surrounded me with mockery and laughter. Surely in that moment I should have been possessed by frenzy and have destroyed my miserable existence but that my vow was heard and that I was reserved for vengeance. The laughter died away, when a well-known and abhorred voice, apparently close to my ear, addressed me in an audible whisper, "I am satisfied, miserable wretch! You have determined to live, and I am satisfied."
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 24.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
