tell it slant

"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 Lightening to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind--

- Emily Dickinson

"Hey Liv, you wanna come in and help me with dinner?"

"No thanks, Mom. I'm kinda busy right now."
