Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 20 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.
Some hours passed thus; but by degrees, as the sun declined towards the horizon, the wind died away into a gentle breeze and the sea became free from breakers. But these gave place to a heavy swell; I felt sick and hardly able to hold the rudder, when suddenly I saw a line of high land towards the south.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the medium one from chapter 20.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
