Another great poem by Emily.
"Tell all the Truth but tell it slant"(pg.1057).- tell the truth but twist it to spare feelings of others is what i took from this.
"Success in Circuit lies
"Too bright for our inform Delight"(pg.1057).- I wasnt quite clear what to take from this line, I came up with people lie to get to the top and try to weasle their way in as well as tell on everyone for wrong doings.
"The Truth's Superb surpirse"(pg.1057).- the truth about someone or something can surprise us sometimes.
"As lightning to the Children eased
With explanation kind
The Truth must dazzle gradually
Or every man be blind"(pg.1058).- People that lie try to explain the reason for their lies and eventually come out with the truth but not before feelings have been hurt. Sometimes instead of wanting to see or know the truth, people look passed it as almost as if they were blind to anything going on around them.
After reading through a few more of Emily Dickinson's poems I realize that none of them are the same or too similar, she doesnt have a running theme to them, in my opinion. Which I love that each one somewhat tells a story in its own way!
