Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 4 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
I knew well therefore what would be my father's feelings, but I could not tear my thoughts from my employment, loathsome in itself, but which had taken an irresistible hold of my imagination. I wished, as it were, to procrastinate all that related to my feelings of affection until the great object, which swallowed up every habit of my nature, should be completed.
The sentence you are solving goes here.
But I forget that I am moralizing in the most interesting part of my tale, and your looks remind me to proceed.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
