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—-

 by Emily Dickinson

“The surprising quality of the truth is too overpowering for people’s weak perceptions thus they either would not understand it or would be overwhelmed by it.
