The beginning of Chapter Five

It was on a dreary night of November that I beheld the accomplishment of my toils. With an anxiety that almost amounted to agony, I collected the instruments of life around me, that I might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. It was already one in the morning; the rain pattered dismally against the panes, and my candle was nearly burnt out, when, by the glimmer of the half-extinguished light, I saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open; it breathed hard, and a convulsive motion agitated its limbs.

How can I describe my emotions at this catastrophe, or how delineate the wretch whom with such infinite pains and care I had endeavoured to form? His limbs were in proportion, and I had selected his features as beautiful. Beautiful!--Great God! His yellow skin scarcely covered the work of muscles and arteries beneath; his hair was of a lustrous black, and flowing; his teeth of a pearly whiteness; but these luxuriances only formed a more horrid contrast with his watery eyes, that seemed almost of the same colour as the dun white sockets in which they were set, his shrivelled complexion and straight black lips.

The very end of Chapter Twelve

The pleasant showers and genial warmth of spring greatly altered the aspect of the earth. Men, who before this change seemed to have been hid in caves, dispersed themselves, and were employed in various arts of cultivation. The birds sang in more cheerful notes, and the leaves began to bud forth on the trees. Happy, happy earth! fit habitation for gods, which, so short a time before, was bleak, damp, and unwholesome. My spirits were elevated by the enchanting appearance of nature; the past was blotted from my memory, the present was tranquil, and the future gilded by bright rays of hope and anticipations of joy."

PrometheusBook X ll. 720-866 O miserable of happy! Is this the endOf this new glorious world, and me so lateThe glory of that glory, who now becomeAccursed, of blessed? hide me from the faceOf God, whom to behold was then my highthOf happiness!--Yet well, if here would endThe misery; I deserved it, and would bearMy own deservings; but this will not serve:All that I eat or drink, or shall beget,Is propagated curse. O voice, once heardDelightfully, Encrease and multiply;Now death to hear! for what can I encrease,Or multiply, but curses on my head?Who of all ages to succeed, but, feelingThe evil on him brought by me, will curseMy head? Ill fare our ancestor impure,For this we may thank Adam! but his thanksShall be the execration: so, besidesMine own that bide upon me, all from meShall with a fierce reflux on me rebound;On me, as on their natural center, lightHeavy, though in their place. O fleeting joysOf Paradise, dear bought with lasting woes!

Did I request thee, Maker, from my clayTo mould me Man? did I solicit theeFrom darkness to promote me, or here placeIn this delicious garden? As my willConcurred not to my being, it were but rightAnd equal to reduce me to my dust;Desirous to resign and render backAll I received; unable to performThy terms too hard, by which I was to holdThe good I sought not. To the loss of that,Sufficient penalty, why hast thou addedThe sense of endless woes? InexplicableWhy am I mocked with death, and lengthened outTo deathless pain? How gladly would I meetMortality my sentence, and be earthInsensible! How glad would lay me down lap!
