In a world trapped in the square pedestal of Logic, the Madman represents the paradox, everything that does not conform to the rules of the established order of things.
From this perspective, it is an idea that scares, fascinates, and simultaneously gives a new impetus to the imaginative contents of the soul. It scares because its steps lead to the unknown. It fascinates because it offers new opportunities, new horizons.
It gives a new impetus because its archetypal image is identified with the very image of Creation. In the same way, the poet confronts this image and makes it a source of teaching, inspiration, and the urge to seek something different in our lives, something beyond the established.
It breaks the vicious cycle of logic and offers new data.
