Tell me where is Fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?
How begot, how nourishéd?
Reply, reply.
It is engender'd in the eyes,
With gazing fed; and Fancy dies
In the cradle where it lies.
Let us all ring Fancy's knell:
I'll begin it,—Ding, dong, bell.
All: Ding, dong, bell.
— William Shakespeare
1564-1616
