Perceptions of Sanity

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;
Demur,-you ‘re straightway dangerous,
And handled with a chain.

- Emily Dickinson -

    That’s one residing idea I always had. I wish I’d make u read one of al-Hakeem’s one-act plays one day. I read it 3 years ago, but I can’t forget it.
