Famous quotes containing the word fancy:
“All costumes are caricatures. The basis of Art is not the Fancy Ball.”
—Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)
“A symbol is indeed the only possible expression of some invisible essence, a transparent lamp about a spiritual flame; while allegory is one of many possible representations of an embodied thing, or familiar principle, and belongs to fancy and not to imagination: the one is a revelation, the other an amusement.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
