Tell all the Truth but tell it slant (1129)

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 —
 
Russian
Translation#12345

Скажи всю Правду, но не в лоб

Скажи всю Правду, но не в лоб,
Скажи ее не враз —
Ведь слишком ярок Правды свет
Для наших слабых глаз.
 
Как постепенно у детей
Мы ширим знаний круг —
Так нужно Правду открывать,
Чтоб не ослепнуть вдруг.
