道出全部真理，但要婉转——
成功在于迂回
对于我们脆弱的喜好
真理超凡的意外太过耀眼
就像对孩子委婉地解说闪电
以缓解他们的惊恐
真理之光须逐渐加强
否则人人都会失明——
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—
