    Emily Dickinson's poem "Best Gains—must have the Losses' Test—" reminds me of the bitter-sweet nature of life's triumphs and tribulations. The line 'To constitute them—Gains—' is particularly profound. Truly thought-provoking.

      Wow, 'Best Gains—must have the Losses' Test' hit hard. Makes you realize gain without loss won't mean anything. It's only through loosing we appriaciate the worth of what we gained.
