Hi,
The following is an extract from Frankenstein; I'd like to know whether or not the clause in bold contains a religious image. And what does it mean?
The saintly soul of Elizabeth shone like a shrine-dedicated lamp in our peaceful home. Her sympathy was ours; her smile, her soft voice, the sweet glance of her celestial eyes, were ever there to bless and animate us.
I'd appreciate your help.
