Madness

Quote

Poem

“My mind was going numb”

‘I felt a Funeral, in my brain’

“And then, a Plank in Reason broke”

‘I felt a Funeral, in my brain’

“A Threadless Way”

‘From Blank to Blank’

“To stop or perish or advance / Alike indifferent”

‘From Blank to Blank’

“Twas lighter to be Blind –”

‘From Blank to Blank’

“It is as a Vesuvian face / Had let it’s pleasure through –”

‘My Life had stood a Loaded Gun’

“An imperial affliction”

‘There’s a certain Slant of light’

“It has a simple gravity / I do not understand!”

‘There’s something quieter than sleep’
