UCCESS 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 to-day
- Can tell the definition,
- So clear, of victory,
-
- As he, defeated, dying,
- On whose forbidden ear
- The distant strains of triumph
- Break, agonized and clear.
A poem from my all time favorite poet, Emily Dickinson.
