Much Madness is divinest Sense by 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 –

More from Emily Dickinson:

• The Soul has Bandaged moments
• Success is counted sweetest
• Surgeons must be very careful
• Tell all the truth but tell it slant
• There is no Frigate like a Book
• There’s a certain Slant of light
