Like all the greatest souls humanity
\nHas offered up to Nature\u2019s sacred quest,
\nWill knew the starting point is sanity
\nWithout which man by chaos is possessed.
\nYet sanity includes the truths of heart,
\nSo often seen as foes to those of mind:
\nThe natural need for love must play its part \u2013
\nIn William\u2019s plays the sanest parts are kind.
\nBetween these poles imagination streaks
\n(Though some regard it as telepathy)
\nAnd when to true integrity it speaks,
\nThe end result is godlike empathy.
\n++<\/span>To help disarm mad Machiavelli\u2019s ghost
\n++<\/span>May well have been what Shakespeare wanted most.<\/p>\n
