Poem #435  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–

Madness = insanity
divinest
 = most perfect, the best
discerning Eye = someone looking  very carefully
starkest = most obvious
All = everything
prevail = decides/wins
assent = agree
demur = disagree

“435, 3/5.”
