Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne’er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires sorest need.
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
Burst agonized and clear! – Emily Dickinson
On whose forbidden ear
