1 out 1864 ano - Emily Dickinson: Poem #112

Descrição:

Emily Dickinson's poem #112 was about those who value success are only the ones that don't have it. This poem suggests that true appreciation of success comes from experiencing failure and longing. This resonates with the American spirit of striving for achievement despite obstacles. In the poem Dickinson writes: "Success is counted sweetest / By those who ne'er succeed / To comprehend a nectar / Requires sorest need"(Dickinson, 1224). These lines highlight the idea that those who struggle and endure hardship have a deeper understanding and appreciation of success. This aligns with the American narrative of the "self-made" individual who overcomes adversity to achieve their goals. By emphasizing the importance of persistence and resilience, Dickinson's poem reinforces the values of hard work and determination that are central to the American identity. It speaks to the belief that success is more meaningful when it is hard-earned, a concept that continues to shapre the American dream.
