Where it comes from
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley wrote it in chapter 24 of Frankenstein; or, the modern prometheus. Here is the prose either side of it, with the sentence you are solving left out.
"Your repentance," I said, "is now superfluous. If you had listened to the voice of conscience and heeded the stings of remorse before you had urged your diabolical vengeance to this extremity, Frankenstein would yet have lived."
The sentence you are solving goes here.
One paragraph next to it is a cryptogram here in its own right, so it is left out too: the hard one from chapter 24.
Text from the Project Gutenberg edition, which is in the public domain in the United States.
