Come and trip it as ye go,
On the light fantastic toe. [ Milton ]

Come, knit hands, and beat the ground
In a light fantastic round. [ Milton ]

Fantastic tyrant of the amorous heart,
How hard thy yoke! how cruel is thy dart!
Those escape thy anger who refuse thy sway,
And those are punished most who most obey. [ Prior ]

Fashion is that by which the fantastic becomes for a moment universal. [ Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Grey ]

In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold, alike fantastic if too new or old. [ Pope ]

Two things should always be aimed at in our apparel - neatness and decency; but we should avoid an effeminate spruceness, as much as a fantastic disorder. [ J. Beaumont ]

If cities were built by the sound of music, then some edifices would appear to be constructed by grave, solemn tones, - others to have danced forth to light fantastic airs. [ Hawthorne ]

It is the saying of an old divine, Two things in ray apparel I will chiefly aim at - commodiousness and decency; more than these is not commendable, yet I hate an effeminate spruceness as much as a fantastic disorder. A neglected comeliness is the best ornament. It is said of the celebrated Mr. Whitfield that he always was very clean and neat, and often said pleasantly that a minister of the gospel ought to be without a spot. [ J. Beaumont ]
