"Much Madness is divinest Sense-
To a discerning Eye-"
What is Emily Dickinson saying? I really don't understand any of her poems. Why are they so hard to understand? This particular poem just seems like a bunch of random words put together. I read the poem a few times and the only thing I got was that it contained a paradox (with some help from the questions). The paradox is in the above quote and it is saying that insanity is good sense. I am not really sure what the point of the paradox is, but it also has another side to it that says good sense is insane.
