The Poetry Corner

Here's another good one.


Much madness is divinest sense
To a discerning eye;
Much sense the starkest madness.
'T is the majority
In this, as all, prevails.
Assent, and you are sane;
Demure,- you're straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.

Emily Dickinson

    I've always love Dickenson. I had forgotten how good she was. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!
