Much madness is divinest sense

by Emily Dickinson · Explore poems

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