Continuation of "Much Madness" By Emily Dickinson

(First stanza is the original Emily Dickinson version, the second is my interpretive continuation.)

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 straightway dangerous -

And handled with a Chain -

Such Sadness is a joyous Hymn -

When sung specifically –

And Joy - forlorn Disparity -

A sordid Lullaby

Those who balance tenderly -

Glow – but still unseen –

Smile – a fluorescent pall –

With symphonies between -
