It is the most boundless and restless faculty of the soul: for whilst the understanding and the will are kept as it were in libera custodia to their objects... the fancy is free from all engagements; it digs without a spade, sails without ship, flies without wings, builds without charges, fights without bloodshed, in a moment striding from the centre to the circumference of the world by a kind of omnipotency creating and annihilating things in an instant.
-Thomas Fuller
