Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 23 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.
I attempted to accompany them and proceeded a short distance from the house, but my head whirled round, my steps were like those of a drunken man, I fell at last in a state of utter exhaustion; a film covered my eyes, and my skin was parched with the heat of fever. In this state I was carried back and placed on a bed, hardly conscious of what had happened; my eyes wandered round the room as if to seek something that I had lost.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the easy one from chapter 23.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
