Estilística

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!

(c. 1859)

– Emily Dickinson –

In “Success is counted sweetest”, Emily Dickinson uses figurative language to deepen the contrast between victory and defeat. Which figure of speech is most clearly illustrated in the image of the “purple Host / Who took the Flag today” contrasted with “he, defeated — dying”?

Metaphor, because Dickinson represents abstract concepts of triumph and failure through the symbolic imagery of a victorious army and a dying soldier.

Hyperbole, because the poet exaggerates the emotional impact of victory to emphasize its overwhelming nature.

Personification, because Dickinson attributes human emotions to the abstract idea of success.

Irony, because the victorious “Host” pretends to understand success while actually being unaware of its meanin.
