Evocative Literary Lines: Frankenstein

“…The moon gazed on my midnight labours, while, with unrelaxed and breathless eagerness, I pursued nature to her hiding places…”
download“Who shall conceive the horrors of my secret toil, as I dabbled among the unhallowed damps of the grave”

~Mary Shelley (Frankenstein)

Unknown_woman,_formerly_known_as_Mary_Wollstonecraft_Shelley_by_Samuel_John_StumpI love this story, and I love its origins. Mary Shelley is a fantastic Author and Frankenstein is such a tribute to her talent. This timeless tale was written with such grace and elegance, yet she fearlessly captures the relentless heart of a man desperately searching for meaning.
