excerpt from Frankenstein
by Mary Shelly
These reflections have dispelled the agitation with which I began my letter, and I feel my heart glow with an enthusiasm which elevates me to
heaven, for nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose-a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. This
expedition has been the favorite dream of my early years. I have read with ardor the accounts of the various voyages which have been made in
the prospect of arriving at the North Pacific Ocean through the seas which surround the pole. You may remember that a history of all the
voyages made for purposes of discovery composed the whole of our good Uncle Thomas' library. My education was neglected, yet I was
passionately fond of reading. These volumes were my study day and night, and my familiarity with them increased that regret which I had felt,
as a child, on learning that my father's dying injunction had forbidden my uncle to allow me to embark in a seafaring life.
