Success Is Counted Sweetest Poem by Emily Dickinson

This is the opposite of sour grapes fable. The idea of victory is sweeter to those who loose than it is in reality to those who win.

No comments? well, i believe this poem is one of her bests. it illustrates that the victor may not always have the sweetest of success. The defeated longs for it the most. Imagine: running 2 miles, without water, in 100 degree weather. Your main desire is, 'GIVE ME WATER! ' of perhaps to stop running. either way the desire you feel is unbarible, you want it so bad. that sort of desire is what she is describing, the desire that you just can't have but when you get it its most glorious. like the tortoise that defeated the egotistical hair, 'success is counted sweetness.'

I think it says that those who don't succeed imagine that it taste sweeter then it does for those who succeed and do taste it.

In the poem “Success is counted on sweetness, Emily Dickinson strongly supports that in order to understand true success, you need to be someone who constantly fails and gets defeated.

This poem is saying that if you want to know what it's like to win ask the one who lost.
