Dazzle Gradually

<p>Tell all the truth but tell it slant—</p><p>Success in Circuit lies</p><p>Too bright for our infirm Delight</p><p>The Truth’s superb surprise</p><p>As Lightning to the Children eased</p><p>With explanation kind</p><p>The Truth must dazzle gradually</p><p>Or every man be blind—</p><p>–Emily Dickinson</p>
