Much Madness is divinest Sense
BY
EMILY DICKINSON
1830–1886
Emily Dickinson
Much Madness is divinest Sense — | |
To a discerning Eye — | |
Much Sense — the starkest Madness — | |
’Tis the Majority | |
In this, as All, prevail — | |
Assent — and you are sane — | |
Demur — you’re straightway dangerous — | |
And handled with a Chain — |
