Much Madness is Divinest Sense

December 5, 2012

 

Some years ago they put poems in the little advertising slots on London’s tube trains. Poem’s on the Underground, provided a nice way to reflect on things other than cheap calls to Australia and pay day loans, on the way to work. For those that don’t take the tube, here’s a poem we liked….

`Much Madness is divinest Sense`

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 straightaway dangerous -

And handled with a Chain -

 Emily Dickinson (1830 – 86)

Have a curious day.
