Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

“For poetry, he’s past his prime,
He takes an hour to find a rhyme;
His fire is out, his wit decayed,
His fancy sunk, his muse a jade.
I’d have him throw away his pen,
But there’s no talking to some men.”
—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)

“But Madame Bad Luck soberly comes
And stays—no fancy has she for flitting;”
—John Milton Hay (1838–1905)

“Lord’s lost Him His mockingbird,
His fancy warbler;
Satan sweet-talked her,
four bullets hushed her.
Who would have thought
she’d end that way?”
—Robert Earl Hayden (1913–1980)
