The Eugenists, as a first move, have extended the frontiers of the lunatic asylum: let us take this as our definite starting point, and ask ourselves what lunacy is, and what is its fundamental relation to human society. Now that raw juvenile scepticism that clogs all thought with catchwords may often be heard to remark that the mad are only the minority, the sane only the majority.
They have swept away the very constitutions under which the legislators acted, and the laws were made. Even the fundamental sacred rights of man they have not scrupled to profane. They have set this holy code at naught with ignominy and scorn.

The peculiarity of poetry appears to us to lie in the poet's utter unconsciousness of a listener. See also F. N. Scott, "The Most Fundamental Differentia of Poetry and Prose." "The poet," said Thoreau, "writes the history of his own body."
