“The sight of the awful and majestic in nature had indeed always the effect of solemnising my mind and causing me to forget the passing cares of life.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“I feel a cold northern breeze play upon my cheeks, which braces my nerves and fills me with delight.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“Spring advanced rapidly; the weather became fine, and the skies cloudless. It surprised me that what before was desert and gloomy should now bloom with the most beautiful flowers and verdure. My senses were gratified and refreshed by a thousand scents of delight, and a thousand sights of beauty.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein

“Soon a gentle light stole over the heavens, and gave me a sensation of pleasure. I started up, and beheld a radiant form rise from among the trees.* I gazed with a kind of wonder. It moved slowly, but it enlightened my path ; and I again went out. * The moon.”
― Mary Shelley, Frankenstein
