Sanity and Insanity (wise and madness)
King Lear recognizes that if he keeps thinking that way (the lines immediately before he says that), that he'll lose his mind...
There are clear references to Shakespeare's King Lear, although these allusions are not what the poem is about. The poem is a symbolic representation of a descent into madness, rather than about one man's descent. Read King Lear and you'll see very clearly the allusions to the play.
King Lear is.
That is a question that every actor playing Lear must answer for himself, with the help of his director. He is certainly on the verge of madness at the tart, but how far is a matter of interpretation.
One of the wonderful things about the play King Lear is that Lear's voyage through madness actually changes his character. The man who describes himself as a wrathful dragon in Act 1 is very different from the "foolish, fond old man" of Act 5. So in asking this question you need to ask "What is Lear's character in this particular scene?"
At the end of KING LEAR, King Lear dies with Cordelia on his hands, dead.
