Meaning of "He every instant fancies ..." as taken from Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America?

Question

> "Besides the good things which he possesses, __he every instant fancies a thousand others__ which death will prevent him from trying if he does not try them soon." In this sentence, I didn't grasp the meaning of the part that says "he every instant fancies a thousand others". Could you explain it by dividing sentence into subject predicate and object? This is taken from Alexis de Tocqueville, Democracy in America. Originally published in 1835. Translated by Henry Reeve in 1841. The author was a French observer of the United States in the nineteenth century. https://oll.libertyfund.org/titles/schleifer-the-making-of-tocquevilles-democracy-in-america

Answer 1

Does it help if I suggest that "others" refers to "good things?"

It's always helpful with complicated sentences to put them into simpler language and reread. Try this:

Besides the good things he has, every moment he imagines a thousand more good things that he'll die before he tries if he doesn't try them now.
