The Divine Language of Madness

"There is something in common, in poetry and in music - in the certain way that both of them are the language of madness.

The poet and the musician together speak a natural and universal language the original language that all creatures spoke before the fall of man.

For in the Garden of Eden before Adam and Eve had eaten the fruit of the tree of knowledge they understood the language of all the animals and spoke such a language themselves which was the divine language."

Alan Watts
