No, I’m no madman. Is madness creeping up on me, then? Though by no means out of my mind, I still want to plunge into an irrational world whenever I gaze around me. Whenever I look upward, face downward, or stare right in front of me I want to be able to plunge into an irrational world … While it’s not inconceivable that human intelligence is an outgrowth of madness, madness could never spring forth from the intellect.
