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 . --
