“Nervous, very, very dreadfully nervous I had been and am; but why will you say that I am mad? The disease had sharpened my senses, not destroyed, not dulled them. Above all was the sense of hearing acute. I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell. How then am I mad? ”

“From childhood’s hour I have not been
As others were— I have not seen
As others saw — I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then— in my childhood— in the dawn
Of a most stormy life— was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still.”

— Edgar Allan Poe, Alone
