Much Madness is divinest Sense

Here Emily Dickinson praises craziness; she says if an eye is discerning enough they would see the divinity in madness. It reminds me of Kabir saying “I know I am crazy, but I am yours my love!” in Jo Haun Baura


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 -
