"INSANITY"


    "The world now looks remote, strange, sinister, uncanny. Its

colour is gone, its breath is cold, there is no speculation in 

the eyes it glares with. 'It is as if I lived in another 

century,' says one asylum patient. 'I see everything through a 

cloud,' says another. 'I see,' says a third, 'I touch, but the 

things do not come near me, a thick veil alters the hue and look 

of everything.' 'Persons move like shadows, and sound seems to 

come from a distant world.'-- 'There is no longer any past for 

me... it is as if I could not see any reality, as if I were in a 

theatre: as if people were actors, and everything were scenery... 

Everything floats before my eyes, but leaves no impression.'-- 'I 

weep false tears, I have unreal hands: the things I see are not 

real things." - Asylum Patient (unknown) -
