reason
Jupiter has bestowed far more passion than reason – you could calculate the ratio 24 to 1. He set up two raging tyrants in opposition to reason’s solitary power: anger and lust. How far reason can prevail against the combined power of these two, the common life of man makes quite clear. Reason does the only thing she can and shouts herself hoarse, repeating formulas of virtue, while the other two bid her go hang herself, and are increasingly noisy and offensive, until their last ruler is exhausted, gives up and surrenders.
Lovers and madmen have such seething brains, such shaping fantasies that apprehends more than cool reason comprehends. The lunatic, the lover and the poet are of imagination all compact: one sees more devils than the vast hell can hold; that is the madman: the lover, all as frantic; sees Helen’s beauty in a brow of Egypt: the poet’s eye, in a fine frenzy rolling doth glance from earth to heaven; and as imagination bodies forth the form of things unknown, the poet’s pen turns them to shapes and gives to airy nothing, a local habitation and a name.
-William Shakespeare.
