Here was a bunch of average nice Leesville boys, employees of the shops near-by, "soda-jerkers" and "counter-jumpers", clerks who had deftly fitted shoes on to the feet of pretty ladies. Now they were submitting themselves to this deforming discipline, undergoing this devilish transmogrification.
But in the "Dutchman" Wagner sought seriously to realise himself, to find the mode of best expressing the best that was in him. That mode he found in "The Rheingold" and mastered in "The Valkyrie," with its continuous development and transmogrification of themes. Compared with "The Valkyrie," "The Flying Dutchman" is ill-contrived and stagy. It is flecked here and there with vulgarity.
His Sheriff libretto for Halevy's music at the Opera Comique in 1839 was a transmogrification of Master Cornelius. Balzac's Cornelius is Louis XI's money-lender, who lives with his sister in an old mansion, next to a house with the King's natural daughter, Marie de Sassenage, occupies with her husband, the Comte de Sainte-Vallier.
When they get out, she don't wait any more for him to walk lock and lock with her, but they march like a horse and a cow to water, one in each gutter. If there ain't a transmogrification it's a pity. The difference atween a wife and a sweetheart is near about as great as there is between new and hard cider: a man never tires of puttin' one to his lips, but makes plaguy wry faces at t'other.
"You may date that desirable transmogrification from the hour when you cease to stir up the mud and dregs in my nature, by doubting the possibility that they will ever settle, and leave a pure medium between your soul and mine. Just so soon, and no sooner." "My young friend, you are too sensitive. I now offer you the strongest proof of confidence that I can ever hope to command.
Never was such a transmogrification beheld. The lass is really pretty, and Ned Miles has discovered that she is so. There they stand, as much like lovers as may be; he smiling, and she blushing he never looking so handsome nor she so pretty in all their lives. There they stand, in blessed forgetfulness of all except each other; as happy a couple as ever trod the earth.
'Yes, but supposing: a complete transmogrification by some unimaginable ingression or enchantment, by nibbling a bunch of roses, or whatever you like to call it? 'Only physically? 'Well, yes, actually; but potentially, why that's another matter. The dark eyes passed slowly from her brother's face and rested gravely on their visitor's. 'Is he making fun of me?
If they did, matrimony wouldn't make such an everlastin' transmogrification of folks as it does, would it? The way cupidists scratch their head and open their eyes and stare after they are married, reminds me of Felix Culpepper.
It was an awful doom; transmogrification into the Laidleyworm of Spindlestaneheugh would have been a blessing in comparison.
