How to Tell the Truth

Re:How to Tell the Truth by hprotagonist on Friday July 28, 2017 @11:56AM (#14875182)

At the risk of being "that guy on HN who just quotes poetry":

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.

Emily Dickinson

I'm generally not a poetry fan, but wow, that is quite impressive.

Miss Dickinson really knew how to throw a punch.
