“TRUE! – 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 earth. I heard many things
in hell. How, then, am I mad? Hearken! And observe how healthily – how calmly I can tell you
the whole story.”
