Summary

This quote by Emily Dickinson suggests that while it is important to convey the truth, it is sometimes more effective to do so indirectly or subtly. By presenting the truth from a unique or obscure perspective, it can have a greater impact on the audience and be better received. Dickinson implies that delivering the truth in a straightforward manner may not always achieve the desired outcome, but approaching it from a different angle or in a more artful way can lead to success.
