This phrase has been taken from the chapter "The Catalans" in "The Count of Monte Cristo". This has been written by Alexandre Dumas, Pere. In this phrase, it has been described how beautiful Mercedes is.
She is a young girl with beautiful physical appearance and because of this Fernand can not control himself looking at her. He is sitting a little far from her and is just gazing at her and admiring her beauty.
Its an independent clause, because it can stand on its own and doesn't need another sentence with it for it to make sense.
Their parents tried to keep them apart but they wanted to be together Romeo left for a little got a letter saying Juliet died even though she took medicine to make her sleep and lower her heart beat so that people would think she was dead and wake up in time to leave with romeo but she didn't wake up in time and romeo thought she killed herself so he stabbed himself when she woke up he was dead that was when she did it herself. It shows that they left together their love was so strong and the families hate trying to pull them apart just ended their lives.
