Tell all the truth but tell it slant — (1263)
BY EMILY DICKINSON
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 —
請別直言真相
請別直言真相 —
迂回才不會出錯
真相令人敬畏的驚奇
會映照我們愜意的脆弱
像閃電對兒童
耐心解釋才消除惶恐
真相也得一點點發光
人才不會失明 —
