Which details best express the theme of the poem?

Success is counted sweetest


by Emily Dickinson


Success is counted sweetest

by Emily Dickinson


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.





pls help
