Fancy how involved with imagination

So I believe it will be found throughout the operation of the fancy, that it has to do with the outsides of things, and is content therewith:of this there can be no doubt in such passage as that description of Mab, so often given as an illustration of it,art oil paintings for sale,and many other instances will be found in Leigh Hunt's work already referred to.Only some embarrassment is caused by passages in which fancy is seizing the outward signs of emotion, understanding them as such, and yet, in pursuance of her proper function, taking for her share, and for that which she chooses to dwell upon, the outside sign rather than the emotion. Note in Macbeth that brilliant instance.

"Where the Norweyan banners flout the sky 

And fan our people cold." 

The outward shiver and coldness of fear is seized on, and irregularly but admirably attributed by the fancy to the drift of the banners. Compare Solomon's Song where the imagination stays not at the outside, but dwells on the fearful emotion itself?

"Who is she that looketh forth as the morning; fair as the moon, clear as the sun, and terrible as an army with banners?" art oil painting reproduction
