"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"
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"
Tell the truth and tell it straight
Defeat in double meaning lies,
Too easy to sink in the shadows
And be broken by unsaid surprise
As resentment filled cracks build up
With no explanation of any kind
The whole truth finds itself broken
Shattered, hurt, and blind
