Explore "Triumphant" by Emily Dickinson on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
Who never lost, are unprepared / A coronet to find; / Who never thirsted, flagons / And cooling tamarind.
Who never climbed the weary league -- / Can such a foot explore / The purple territories / On Pizarro's shore?
How many legions overcome?
The emperor will say.
How many colors taken / On Revolution Day?
How many bullets bearest?
The royal scar hast thou?
Angels, write "Promoted" / On this soldier's brow!
