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 —

 

请别直言真相

 

请别直言真相 —

迂回才不会出错

真相令人敬畏的惊奇

会映照我们惬意的脆弱

 

像闪电对儿童

耐心解释才消除惶恐

真相也得一点点发光

人才不会失明 —
