As far as anyone can tell, it was on this day 200 years ago that Mary Shelley woke from her nightmare and declared:

‘I’ve found it! What will terrify me will terrify others. I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.’

That spectre inspired her to write Frankenstein; or, the Modern Prometheus. Pictured above is a sketch by Percy Shelley of Lake Geneva, where Mary was staying with both him and Lord Byron at the Villa Diodati. It was Byron who, on a stormy candlelit night, suggested that they each try and write a ghost story.

Je me suis, je me suis élargi - comme le monde -

et ma conscience plus large que la mer !

Dernier soleil.

J'éclate. Je suis le feu, je suis la mer.
