Where Fancy Lies

A poem by William Shakespeare

Art: The Knell of Fancy by Celia Verre

Music: Transient Dawn by Elias Frost

TELL me where is Fancy bred,
Or in the heart or in the head?
How begot, how nourished?
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.
