Success is Counted Sweetest by Emily Dickinson

"Success is Counted Sweetest"


When I read this poem, I found that the one who does not have certain things, understands whatever is in need, rather than the person who possesses it. In other words, people tend to want things with more intensity when they do not have them. Dickinson tends to write about the complicated truths of human desire, stating in this poem that success can be best comprehended by someone who actually NEEDS it.
