Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 9 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.
At length I arrived at the village of Chamounix. Exhaustion succeeded to the extreme fatigue both of body and of mind which I had endured. For a short space of time I remained at the window watching the pallid lightnings that played above Mont Blanc and listening to the rushing of the Arve, which pursued its noisy way beneath. The same lulling sounds acted as a lullaby to my too keen sensations; when I placed my head upon my pillow, sleep crept over me; I felt it as it came and blessed the giver of oblivion.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 9.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
