it was already one in the morning. The rain patterned dismally against the pains, and my candle was nearly burned 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 upon 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 luxurious is 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. His jaws opened and he muttered some inarticulate sounds while a grin wrinkled his cheeks. He might have spoken, but I did not hear. One hand was stretched out, seemingly to detain me, but I escaped and rushed downstairs, catching and fearing each sound as if it were to announce the approach of the D maniacal corpse to which I had so miserably given life.
