Emily Dickinson lived in the 1800s, but her poetry is still as powerful, sexy, and modern as if it were written today. She published almost nothing in her lifetime. She had difficulty with social interactions and was radically private. Looking at letters, some biographers have suggested she may have had panic attacks and agoraphobia. All of this contributes to the assertion that she was likely autistic. This tension between her extreme withdrawal and her explosive inner life is part of what makes her so fascinating today.
This T-shirt shows Emily’s signature on the front and one of her most famous poems on the back. Here is the poem, “Tell all the truth but tell it slant,” with the capitalization and punctuation as she handwrote it and as it appears on the back of the shirt.
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 -
Emily Dickinson
1830–1886
DETAILS
