Summary

This quote, from William Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream," suggests that those who are mad (lunatic), infatuated (lover), and creative (poet) all possess a vivid imagination. It implies that there is a fine line between madness, love, and artistic expression, as they all require an ability to transcend the boundaries of reality and engage in imaginative thinking. This quote highlights the inherent connection between these seemingly unrelated states of mind, implying that imagination is a common thread that links them together.
