Ella Wheeler Wilcox,
Poems of Cheer — All mad
(1914)
“ The youth who goes seeking for pleasure, The preacher who dares talk of God, All priests with their creeds and their croaking, All doubters who dare to deny, The gay who find aught to wake laughter, The sad who find aught worth a sigh, Whoever is downcast or solemn, Whoever is gleeful and glad, Are only the dupes of delusions - We are all of us--all of us mad. ”
