Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 10 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.
We rest; a dream has power to poison sleep. We rise; one wand'ring thought pollutes the day. We feel, conceive, or reason; laugh or weep, Embrace fond woe, or cast our cares away; It is the same: for, be it joy or sorrow, The path of its departure still is free. Man's yesterday may ne'er be like his morrow; Nought may endure but mutability!
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the hard one from chapter 10.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
