wild fancyとは 意味・読み方・使い方

and wrapped in his gloomy thoughts, he would issue from his solitary lodgings early in the evening, and wandering along a narrow path beneath the cliffs, to a wild and lonely spot that had struck his fancy in his ramblings, seat himself on some fallen fragment of the rock, and burying his face in his hands, remain there for hours --sometimes until night had completely closed in, and the long shadows of the frowning cliffs above his head cast a thick, black darkness on every object near him.発音を聞く 例文帳に追加

暗澹たる想いを抱えた男は、ふだんから、夕闇押し迫る時間に人里離れた住まいからでると、崖下の細道を通り、散策中に見つけて気に入っていた寂しい場所に行き、手頃な落石の残骸に腰を下ろして両手に顔をうずめ、何時間も——ときには真夜中頃、頭上に立ちはだかる崖の影が周囲のものすべてに漆黒の闇で覆う頃まで——じっとしていたものだった。 - Charles Dickens『奇妙な依頼人』
