ALL THE TRUTH

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 —

"Tell all the truth but tell it slant", Emily Dickinson (1830 - 1886), poet.

 

 

Standing Bodhisattva. Northern Qi Dynasty. 550-77. Sandstone with polychrome and gilt. [Sanskrit bodhisattvah, one who has attained perfect knowledge or enlightenment, from bodhih, perfect knowledge + sattvam, essence, being].
