Dear
,
dear
Elizabeth
!
"
I
exclaimed
,
when
I
had
read
her
letter
:
"
I
will
write
instantly
and
relieve
them
from
the
anxiety
they
must
feel
.
"
I
wrote
,
and
this
exertion
greatly
fatigued
me
;
but
my
convalescence
had
commenced
,
and
proceeded
regularly
.
In
another
fortnight
I
was
able
to
leave
my
chamber
.
One
of
my
first
duties
on
my
recovery
was
to
introduce
Clerval
to
the
several
professors
of
the
university
.
In
doing
this
,
I
underwent
a
kind
of
rough
usage
,
ill
befitting
the
wounds
that
my
mind
had
sustained
.
Ever
since
the
fatal
night
,
the
end
of
my
labours
,
and
the
beginning
of
my
misfortunes
,
I
had
conceived
a
violent
antipathy
even
to
the
name
of
natural
philosophy
.
When
I
was
otherwise
quite
restored
to
health
,
the
sight
of
a
chemical
instrument
would
renew
all
the
agony
of
my
nervous
symptoms
.
Henry
saw
this
,
and
had
removed
all
my
apparatus
from
my
view
.
He
had
also
changed
my
apartment
;
for
he
perceived
that
I
had
acquired
a
dislike
for
the
room
which
had
previously
been
my
laboratory
.
But
these
cares
of
Clerval
were
made
of
no
avail
when
I
visited
the
professors
.
M.
Waldman
inflicted
torture
when
he
praised
,
with
kindness
and
warmth
,
the
astonishing
progress
I
had
made
in
the
sciences
.
He
soon
perceived
that
I
disliked
the
subject
;
but
not
guessing
the
real
cause
,
he
attributed
my
feelings
to
modesty
,
and
changed
the
subject
from
my
improvement
,
to
the
science
itself
,
with
a
desire
,
as
I
evidently
saw
,
of
drawing
me
out
.
What
could
I
do
?
He
meant
to
please
,
and
he
tormented
me
.
I
felt
as
if
he
had
placed
carefully
,
one
by
one
,
in
my
five
those
instruments
which
were
to
be
afterwards
used
in
putting
me
to
a
slow
and
cruel
death
.
I
writhed
under
his
words
,
yet
dared
not
exhibit
the
pain
I
felt
.
Clerval
,
whose
eyes
and
feelings
were
always
quick
in
discerning
the
sensations
of
others
,
declined
the
subject
,
alleging
,
in
excuse
,
his
total
ignorance
;
and
the
conversation
took
a
more
general
turn
.
I
thanked
my
friend
from
my
heart
,
but
I
did
not
speak
.
I
saw
plainly
that
he
was
surprised
,
but
he
never
attempted
to
draw
my
secret
from
me
;
and
although
I
loved
him
with
a
mixture
of
affection
and
reverence
that
knew
no
bounds
,
yet
I
could
never
persuade
myself
to
confide
in
him
that
event
which
was
so
often
present
to
my
recollection
,
but
which
I
feared
the
detail
to
another
would
only
impress
more
deeply
.
M.
Krempe
was
not
equally
docile
;
and
in
my
condition
at
that
time
,
of
almost
insupportable
sensitiveness
,
his
harsh
blunt
encomiums
gave
me
even
more
pain
than
the
benevolent
approbation
of
M.
Waldman
.
"
D
--
n
the
fellow
!
"
cried
he
;
"
why
,
M.
Clerval
,
I
assure
you
he
has
outstript
us
all
.
Ay
,
stare
if
you
please
;
but
it
is
nevertheless
true
.
A
youngster
who
,
but
a
few
years
ago
,
believed
in
Cornelius
Agrippa
as
firmly
as
in
the
gospel
,
has
now
set
himself
at
the
head
of
the
university
;
and
if
he
is
not
soon
pulled
down
,
we
shall
all
be
out
of
countenance
.
--
Ay
,
ay
,
"
continued
he
,
observing
my
face
expressive
of
suffering
,
"
M.
Frankenstein
is
modest
;
an
excellent
quality
in
a
young
man
.
Young
men
should
be
diffident
of
themselves
,
you
know
,
M.
Clerval
:
I
was
myself
when
young
;
but
that
wears
out
in
a
very
short
time
.
"
M.
Krempe
had
now
commenced
an
eulogy
on
himself
,
which
happily
turned
the
conversation
from
a
subject
that
was
so
annoying
to
me
.
Clerval
had
never
sympathized
in
my
tastes
for
natural
science
;
and
his
literary
pursuits
differed
wholly
from
those
which
had
occupied
me
.
He
came
to
the
university
with
the
design
of
making
himself
complete
master
of
the
oriental
languages
,
and
thus
he
should
open
a
field
for
the
plan
of
life
he
had
marked
out
for
himself
.
Resolved
to
pursue
no
inglorious
career
,
he
turned
his
eyes
toward
the
East
,
as
affording
scope
for
his
spirit
of
enterprise
.
The
Persian
,
Arabic
,
and
Sanscrit
languages
engaged
his
attention
,
and
I
was
easily
induced
to
enter
on
the
same
studies
.
Idleness
had
ever
been
irksome
to
me
,
and
now
that
I
wished
to
fly
from
reflection
,
and
hated
my
former
studies
,
I
felt
great
relief
in
being
the
fellow-pupil
with
my
friend
,
and
found
not
only
instruction
but
consolation
in
the
works
of
the
orientalists
.
I
did
not
,
like
him
,
attempt
a
critical
knowledge
of
their
dialects
,
for
I
did
not
contemplate
making
any
other
use
of
them
than
temporary
amusement
.
I
read
merely
to
understand
their
meaning
,
and
they
well
repaid
my
labours
.
Their
melancholy
is
soothing
,
and
their
joy
elevating
,
to
a
degree
I
never
experienced
in
studying
the
authors
of
any
other
country
.
When
you
read
their
writings
,
life
appears
to
consist
in
a
warm
sun
and
a
garden
of
roses
--
in
the
smiles
and
frowns
of
a
fair
enemy
,
and
the
fire
that
consumes
your
own
heart
.
How
different
from
the
manly
and
heroical
poetry
of
Greece
and
Rome
!
Summer
passed
away
in
these
occupations
,
and
my
return
to
Geneva
was
fixed
for
the
latter
end
of
autumn
;
but
being
delayed
by
several
accidents
,
winter
and
snow
arrived
,
the
roads
were
deemed
impassable
,
and
my
journey
was
retarded
until
the
ensuing
spring
.
I
felt
this
delay
very
bitterly
;
for
I
longed
to
see
my
native
town
and
my
beloved
friends
.
My
return
had
only
been
delayed
so
long
,
from
an
unwillingness
to
leave
Clerval
in
a
strange
place
,
before
he
had
become
acquainted
with
any
of
its
inhabitants
.
The
winter
,
however
,
was
spent
cheerfully
;
and
although
the
spring
was
uncommonly
late
,
when
it
came
its
beauty
compensated
for
its
dilatoriness
.
The
month
of
May
had
already
commenced
,
and
I
expected
the
letter
daily
which
was
to
fix
the
date
of
my
departure
,
when
Henry
proposed
a
pedestrian
tour
in
the
environs
of
Ingolstadt
,
that
I
might
bid
a
personal
farewell
to
the
country
I
had
so
long
inhabited
.
I
acceded
with
pleasure
to
this
proposition
:
I
was
fond
of
exercise
,
and
Clerval
had
always
been
my
favourite
companion
in
the
ramble
of
this
nature
that
I
had
taken
among
the
scenes
of
my
native
country
.
We
passed
a
fortnight
in
these
perambulations
:
my
health
and
spirits
had
long
been
restored
,
and
they
gained
additional
strength
from
the
salubrious
air
I
breathed
,
the
natural
incidents
of
our
progress
,
and
the
conversation
of
my
friend
.
Study
had
before
secluded
me
from
the
intercourse
of
my
fellow
--
creatures
,
and
rendered
me
unsocial
;
but
Clerval
called
forth
the
better
feelings
of
my
heart
;
he
again
taught
me
to
love
the
aspect
of
nature
,
and
the
cheerful
faces
of
children
.
Excellent
friend
!
how
sincerely
you
did
love
me
,
and
endeavour
to
elevate
my
mind
until
it
was
on
a
level
with
your
own
.
A
selfish
pursuit
had
cramped
and
narrowed
me
,
until
your
gentleness
and
affection
warmed
and
opened
my
senses
;
I
became
the
same
happy
creature
who
,
a
few
years
ago
,
loved
and
beloved
by
all
,
had
no
sorrow
or
care
.
When
happy
,
inanimate
nature
had
the
power
of
bestowing
on
me
the
most
delightful
sensations
.
A
serene
sky
and
verdant
fields
filled
me
with
ecstasy
.
The
present
season
was
indeed
divine
;
the
flowers
of
spring
bloomed
in
the
hedges
,
while
those
of
summer
were
already
in
bud
.
I
was
undisturbed
by
thoughts
which
during
the
preceding
year
had
pressed
upon
me
,
notwithstanding
my
endeavours
to
throw
them
off
,
with
an
invincible
burden
.
