Скачать или смотреть Emily Dickinson’s Success is Counted Sweetest – Victorian Poetry Brought to Life

Welcome to this evocative presentation of "Success is Counted Sweetest", a poignant poem by Emily Dickinson (1830–1886), brought to life through the graceful voices of Early Victorian women. Although Dickinson lived in the United States during the 19th century, her themes of ambition, perseverance, and the bittersweet nature of victory resonate across time and place.

First published anonymously in 1859 in the Springfield Daily Republican, the poem captures the paradox that success is often best understood by those who rarely taste it. Its three short stanzas, written in Dickinson’s signature economical style, use vivid imagery to illustrate that triumph is most deeply felt — and most fully appreciated — by those who have endured loss or longing.

In this performance, colorized and carefully animated portraits of Early Victorian women accompany the recitation, evoking the refined elegance and social complexities of the mid-19th century. The combination of period imagery and Dickinson’s enduring verse bridges the Atlantic and the decades, uniting American literary genius with the dignified visual culture of Victorian Britain.

This reading invites you to reflect not only on the meaning of success but also on the timeless human emotions that connect us to the past.

Full Poem: Success is Counted Sweetest
by Emily Dickinson (1859)

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.
