Famous quotes containing the word fancy:
“Good-night to the Season!the dances,
The fillings of hot little rooms,
The glancings of rapturous glances,
The fancyings of fancy costumes;
The pleasures which Fashion makes duties,
The praisings of fiddles and flutes,
The luxury of looking at beauties,
The tedium of talking to mutes;”
—Winthrop Mackworth Praed (18021839)
“We fancy men are individuals; so are pumpkins; but every pumpkin in the field, goes through every point of pumpkin history.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (18031882)
“For poetry, hes 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.
Id have him throw away his pen,
But theres no talking to some men.”
—Jonathan Swift (16671745)
