Gather up all fancifullest shells.
Keats.
Syn. -- Imaginative; ideal; visionary; capricious; chimerical;
whimsical; fantastical; wild. -- Fanciful, Fantastical, Visionary. We
speak of that as fanciful which is irregular in taste and judgment; we
speak of it as fantastical when it becomes grotesque and extravagant as
well as irregular; we speak of it as visionary when it is wholly
unfounded in the nature of things. Fanciful notions are the product of
a heated fancy, without any tems are made up of oddly assorted fancies,
aften of the most whimsical kind; visionary expectations are those
which can never be realized in fact.
-- Fan"ci*ful*ly, adv. - Fan"ci*ful*ness, n.
