Great poem! By a great poet, too. She is saying that yes, honesty is good and important--BUT so is consideration for the feelings of others, so break certain things gently, and with sensitivity and compassion.

Yeah...there are some relegious overtones to that particular piece.
trivia: did you know that every Emily Dickinson poem can be sung to the tune of the Yellow Rose of Texas? Try it...

to tell the truth but not so harshly to offend,the truth is too much for us to understand.that it takes time to understand..if you knew everything off the bat without living it-you wouldnt be able to understand it.
