A poem by Emily Dickinson

Much Madness Is Divinest Sense

________________________________________________
Title:     Much Madness Is Divinest Sense
Author: Emily Dickinson [More Titles by Dickinson]

Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
'T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demur, -- you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.








[The end]
Emily Dickinson's poem: Much Madness Is Divinest Sense
