O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; keep me in temper; I would not be mad!

O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; keep me in temper; I would not be mad!

The line “O! Let me not be mad, not mad, sweet heaven; keep me in temper; I would not be mad!” is a poignant plea for sanity and self-control in the face of overwhelming emotions. This line is from William Shakespeare’s play “King Lear”, spoken by the character Edgar as he struggles to maintain his composure in the midst of chaos and madness.
