In the last stanza of "To a Skylark," the speaker refers to "hormonioius madness." What does that mean?

The skylark ,to Shelly is the poet of the poets .It has its oneness with ultimate reality .Again Shelly's vision finds reflection in the external world ,and  when his mind-born symbol echoes with the skylark ,it begins to  form the clear-sighted vision through a series of imagery .


Harmonious madness means , -poet possessed .Shelly wishes to bear the mantle of the skylark .This is because , if he is bestowed with the spirit of the skylark , in that case ,his lyrics will be powerful and penetrating .People of this world with arrested attention listen to his music , and they would translate into reality their forgotten hopes and fears .They will feel the same kind of thrilling , as the poet is now getting haunted with the lyric of the skylark .
