Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

    When I was one-and-twenty
    I heard a wise man say,
    “Give crowns and pounds and guineas
    But not your heart away;
    Give pearls away and rubies,
    But keep your fancy free.”
    But I was one-and-twenty,
    No use to talk to me.
    —A.E. (Alfred Edward)

    If fancy then
    Unequal fails beneath the pleasing task,
    Ah, what shall language do?
    James Thomson (1700–1748)

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