Tell It Slant

1 Corinthians 13:12 (NRSVUE)

but then we will see face to face.

Now I know only in part;

then I will know fully,

even as I have been fully known.

The truth dazzles gradually, so that I may see.

Emily Dickinson, "Tell All the Truth but Tell It Slant"

"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—"
