Fantasticise

Yes, this massive, spectacled Cockney dreamer is doing marvellous things these days — he is fantasticising the familiar, making us see our old town radiant in a new and odd light. Orthodoxy abounds in some graver Chestertonisms.

In any case the resemblance between these two beings who fantasticise the world, comes in the first place from that same attitude of mind which makes a man love to debase himself, as well as from the identical conception they had of their art.

But languish not to alter, Where to fantasticise would be to falter, To falter weakly, unachieving change.
