Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    If I a fancy take
    To black and blue,
    That fancy doth it beauty make.
    Sir John Suckling (1609–1642)

    I went out alone
    To sing a song or two,
    My fancy on a man,
    And you know who.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    I fancy we are almost the only nation in the world who seem to think that composition comes by nature. The French attend to their own language, the Germans study theirs; but Englishmen do not seem to think it is worth their while.
    Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
