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– |
divinest = most perfect discerning eye = one that looks closely and carefully starkest = most obvious prevail = win, rule, assent = say yes, agree demur = say no, disagree |
