Questão 3166984

Read the poem and answer the two following questions:

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)
