SUCCESS

Success is counted sweetest

By those who neer succeed.

To comprehend a nectar

Requires sorest need.

Not one of all the purple host

Who took the flag to-day

Can tell the definition,

So clear, of victory,

As he, defeated, dying,

On whose forbidden ear

The distant strains of triumph

Break, agonized and clear!

埃米丽迪金森：

美国女诗人埃米丽迪金森的自然观与她的社会、家庭以及个人阅历有着极其密切的联系。她诗歌中所描绘的自然既反映出爱默生的超验主义思想 ,又不时地唱出与清教主义旋律相近的曲调。她热爱大自然 ,但又夹杂着疑惑和恐惧。她的复杂的心理因素构成了她的复杂的自然观。
