Understanding "Success is counted sweetest"

[@huehuehue5546]

1 Success is counted sweetest 2 By those who ne'er succeed. 3 To comprehend a nectar 4 Requires sorest need. 5 Not one of all the purple Host 6 Who took the Flag today 7 Can tell the definition 8 So clear of victory 9 As he defeated - dying - 10 On whose forbidden ear 11 The distant strains of triumph 12 Burst agonized and clear!

Thank you very much, Professor! I'm a poet and student of literature. I loved your explanation.

[@hopeelizabeth6859]

You are my favorite youtube professor for literary analysis. Your videos are always so brief, simple, but filled with solid literary insight. Thanks so much!

Hi, I was wondering if I can somehow get your help. I have an assignment for this poem.

[@nicolassaleban5728]

Emily Dickinson is complex, often misunderstood, you did great, as usual. Your poems reading, are like the sweetness of a nectar to me. Happy New Year Rebecca. 😊

[@SixMinuteScholar]

How kind! You are very generous. Thank you. Happy 2018!

[@hannahhagan2021]

It was so hard to understand then you just swooped in and made everything click! You’re a God sent!!

[@collin8428]

Please keep making videos. You've introduced new writers to me and made literature I'm familiar with more enjoyable.

[@Stephanie-rg5ln]

And so true!!! Could very well be a poem for people who go through a mid life crisis- when they have completed all of their goals and they don't know what else to do. The poem had a very deep meaning that can be interpreted in various forms!

[@SixMinuteScholar]

What a good point you make! Have a great 2018!

[@Stephanie-rg5ln]

SixMinuteScholar thank you!! Love her work bc it can be applied to a lot of different things!!

[@miraclesage8622]

Hey Rebecca. I just wanted to tell you that you are a godsend to many college students, including myself. I have listened to many of your videos to help myself gain a better understanding of various different stories that I had to read in my writing class, and your analyses are always a great help. Not only that, but you have a really nice pleasant voice and you're easy to understand. I hope you read this and know that you have helped many people, and your work is greatly appreciated. Have a good day!

I missed your videos so much! Thank you for being back, I never knew what "Host" could mean besides "a person who receives people inside their own house", not to mention all of the context you've put on Dickinson's poem, and even though I'm not sure I agree with the poem itself, I have to say, your take on it is just gorgeous, thank you again for doing these videos.

thank you Rebecca :)

[@mujtabaali270]

Can you make me understand what Dante Gabriel Rossetti is trying to say in his poem's titled " Choice 1, Choice 2 and Choice 3? I am in great trouble in finding out the underlying meanings or you may call it themes.

[@SixMinuteScholar]

mujtaba ali Darn, I don't teach Rossetti enough to be able to help! I wish I could, though! Good luck on finding something.

[@chrisflinder3125]

...and "No man is an Island" by John Donne

[@vanbersabal1867]

Why "purple" specifically?

[@chrisflinder3125]

Would you be able to do a "understanding" of Emily dickinson's poem "Because I could not stop for death?"

[@ogacct2834]

Make more videos please

[@SixMinuteScholar]

Yes! I will. :-)

[@contecrayononpaper]
