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 made]

As he, defeated, dying,
On whose forbidden ear
The distant strains of triumph
Break, agonized and clear.

How so VERY arrogant of me… this is Emily Dickinson! (((LOL)))

[grin] One possibility is that the "le" of purple elides with "host" to make what in the reading of it is effectively one syllable. But in fact that extra little beat in there adds drama, and at the same time flows better into the next line. Quite brilliant actually. My guess is as good as anyone’s.

LOL It has an interesting rhythm as well. 7/6/7/6 8/6/7/6 7/6/7/6 I've been trying to figure it out [maybe John can tell us] And here's me who can't manage to write a shopping list without slipping into rhyming verse... well...

I have a couple of exciting projects this month [another television commercial and more musomagic! yay!] that will take me back and forth to Cairns just for the next short while. So I haven't quite said goodbye to the place yet. Thanks so much for your comments here. Wise words... very much appreciated! To me... it just makes a lot of sense to do what you love. It almost seems too simple though. And it is I guess. But wouldn't it be a cool world to live in if everyone was doing what they loved and giving it all they've got! I know I'm a dreamer [can't help myself]... but it doesn't hurt to dream a little does it? ... as long as the dream is driven by some action. I'll be giving it my best shot. LOL Thanks again!
