The cryptic lines of 'A Secret told' convey the essence of a message from Emily Dickinson as she crouches behind that partly open door, like a visitor from some distant and dark planet of the soul. The reader pauses to parse the words and the line breaks, all of a piece with the poet's intent. After all, as Emily said, 'much madness is divinest sense /to a discerning eye. /Much sense the starkest madness...'
Consider well before you blurt out the secret!

Isn't a secret told a possible break in your social image? Isn't Emily message: better scared than humilated?

It sounds like,
She rather keep a secret about herself,
Then tell others and be humiliated.

Sounds like Emily was betrayed or was keeping a secret.
