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.

Looking up at the stars, I know quite well That, for all they care, I can go to hell, But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. How should we like it were stars to burn With a passion for us we could not return? If equal affection cannot be, Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give a damn, I cannot, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day. Were all stars to disappear or die, I should learn to look at an empty sky And feel its total dark sublime, Though this might take me a little time.
