I spied with my little eye a Poetry in Motion poster on the bus with these words:

Tell the Truth but tell it slant --
Success in Circuit lies
Too bright for our infirm Deligt
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 (1830 - 1886)


In short, the wise man knows when to sweeten the harshness of truth.

~ MTA Bus 534
