Excerpt from Jane Sinclair: Or the Fawn of Springvale
It is dificult to account for the mingled reverence, and terror, and pity with which we look upon the insane, and it is equally strange that in this case we approach the temple of the mind with deeper homage, when we know that the divinity has passed out of it. It must be from a conviction of this that uncivilized nations venerate deranged persons as inspired and, in some instance go so far, I believe, as even to pay them divine worship.
