“Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.”

Emily Dickinson (1830–1886) American poet

67: Success is counted sweetest
The Complete Poems of Emily Dickinson (1960)
Context: p>Success is counted sweetest
By those who ne'er succeed.
To comprehend a nectar
Requires a sorest need.Not one of all the purple Host
Who took the Flag today
Can tell the definition
So clear of VictoryAs he defeated — dying —
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Burst agonized and clear!</p
