passage 2. emily dickinson, “success is counted sweetest . .”
success is counted sweetest
by those who ne’er succeed.
to comprehend a nectar
requires sorest need.
not one of all the purple host
who took the fl ag to-day
can tell the defi nition,
so clear, of victory,
as he, defeated, dying,
on whose forbidden ear
th e distant strains of triumph
break, agonized and clear!
