Victory May Defeat

More From Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

Commonly, people believe that defeat is characterized by a general bustle and a feverish rush. bustle and rush are the signs of victory, not of defeat. victory is a thing of action. it is a house in the act of being built. every participant in victory sweats and puffs, carrying the stones for the building of the house. but defeat is a thing of weariness, of incoherence, of boredom. and above all of futility.
