“The originality and loveliness of her character was apparent to me from her very motions and tones of voice. The irresistible wildness and sublimity of her feelings showed itself in her gestures and her looks. She is gentle and tender; yet not incapable of ardent indignation and hatred.

Percy Bysshe Shelley, referring to Mary Shelley, quoted in “Moon in Eclipse; A Life of Mary Shelley,”
