I
Like Adam, was united by no link to any other
being in existence;
the hands of God
I was wretched, helpless, and alone
decipher the characters
my creation
the whole detail
of that series of disgusting circumstances
horrors
, made
beautiful and alluring,
I resolved, at least, not to despair, but in every way to
fit myself for an interview with them which would decide my fate.
