MUCH MADNESS IS DIVINEST SENSE by EMILY DICKINSON

Poem Explanation Poet Analysis

Last Line: And handled with a Chain
Subject(s): INSANITY;
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.
