What does she put more significance on, desire or attainment? ...
A: Throughout these four poems, Emily Dickinson presents the reader with a series of images. ... Dickinson says that it is in his “forbidden ear” that “The distant strains of triumph / Burst agonized and clear! ... ” Again, she debates the importance of an object versus the desire we place on it.
