Example Sentences
- "They think they can turn him into something rich and strange —turn him in a single generation—even as certain ingenious experimentalists turned what Nature meant for a land-salamander into a water-salamander, with new ruddertail and gills instead of lungs and feet suppressed, by feeding him with water animals in oxygenated water and cajoling his functions."
