Fancy

Famous quotes containing the word fancy:

“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 consider it useless and tedious to represent what exists, because nothing that exists satisfies me. Nature is ugly, and I prefer the monsters of my fancy to what is positively trivial.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)

“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)
