Emily Dickinson

1129 - Tell all the Truth but tell it slant

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant —
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Delight
The Truth’s superb surprise
 
As Lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind —
Liked or faved by...
Other works by Emily Dickinson...
