Fancy Dress

Famous quotes containing the words fancy and/or dress:

    “And Change with hurried hand has swept these scenes:
    The woods have fallen, across the meadow-lot
    The hunter’s trail and trap-path is forgot,
    And fire has drunk the swamps of evergreens;
    Yet for a moment let my fancy plant
    These autumn hills again: the wild dove’s haunt,
    The wild deer’s walk: in golden umbrage shut,”
    —Frederick Goddard Tuckerman (1821–1873)

    “Maud Muller looked and sighed: “Ah me!
    That I the Judge’s bride might be!

    “He would dress me up in silks so fine,
    And praise and toast me at his wine.

    “My father should wear a broadcloth coat,
    My brother should sail a painted boat.”
    —John Greenleaf Whittier (1807–1892)
