Edgar Allan Poe (c. 1809-1849)
“Men have called me mad; but the question is not yet settled, whether madness is or is not the loftiest intelligence–whether much that is glorious–whether all that is profound–does not spring from disease of thought–from moods of mind exalted at the expense of the general intellect.”
- From Edgar Allan Poe’s Eleonora in Edgar Allan Poe: Complete Works (JKL Classics, 2017).
