Quote by Emily Dickinson

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--Success in Cirrcuit liesToo bright for our infirm DelightThe Truth's superb surpriseAs Lightening to the Children easedWith explanation kindThe Truth must dazzle graduallyOr every man be blind--

Tell all the Truth but tell it slant--Success in Cirrcuit li

Summary

This quote by Emily Dickinson communicates the idea that truth should be presented indirectly or subtly, rather than directly and overwhelmingly. It suggests that presenting the truth in a straightforward manner can be too much for our fragile comprehension. Instead, the truth should be revealed gradually, like lightning easing fear in children. Dickinson's words imply that if the truth is exposed too abruptly or forcefully, it can be difficult for people to fully grasp and accept it. So, in order for the truth to be understood and appreciated, it should be revealed gradually and gently.
