Tell all the Truth but tell it slant

Thinking about this poem today:

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant—

Success in Cirrcuit lies

Too bright for our infirm Delight

The Truth’s superb surprise

As Lightening to the Children eased

With explanation kind

The Truth must dazzle gradually

Or every man be blind—

via Tell all the Truth but tell it slant — Emily Dickinson.
