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 Flag today Can tell the definition So clear of Victory As he defeated-dying On whose forbidden ear The distant strains of triumph Burst agonized and clear! Emily Dickinson's poem about success presents me with a different insight on what it means to be successful or victorious. The defeated, the dying, the downtrodden have a paradoxical clarity and understanding of success. they are on the outside, looking in, in a moment of epiphany.
