Much Madness is divinest Sense -To a discerning Eye -Much Sense - the starkest Madness -`Tis the MajorityIn this, as All, prevail -Assent - and you are sane -Demur - you`re straightaway dangerous -And handled with a Chain - Emily Dickinson (1830 - 86)
True hope is swift, and flies with swallow's wings; Kings it makes gods, and meaner creatures kings. (Richard III) William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616)
