forgotten words

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 to-day 
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!

- Emily Dickinson

Song of the Day: Dream On (by Aerosmith)
Yeah, I know nobody knows 
where it comes and where it goes 
I know it's everybody's sin 
You got to lose to know how to win 

Half my life's
in books' written pages 
Lived and learned from fools and 
from sages 
You know it's true 
All the feelings come back to you
