Dickinson, Emily: Tell all the truth but tell it slant

Portre of Dickinson, Emily

Tell all the truth but tell it slant (English)

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 —

Az Igazat! De járd körül — (Hungarian)

Az Igazat! De járd körül —
Kerülőút: Siker
Szemünk gyönge fénynek örül
Az Igazság túl új s pazar
A Gyermeknek ha oktatod
Az Ég sem zeng vadul
Legyen Csodád fokozatos
Vagy bele Szem vakul —
