Tell all the truth but tell it slantby Emily Dickinson – This came up in my writing class last night. I had forgotten about this poem until it popped back into my head. For your reading pleasure 🙂

Success in Circuit lies
Too bring 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 –
