Unforeseen Victories “Success is Counted Sweetest” and “The Road Not Taken” are two significant poems which have many message in common. The most important meaning is about unforeseen victories.

This female orator puts it very straight to the point separating the winners and losers each still complementing the other. The winner enjoy with his flag on the summit of success and the loser left dying. Notably, this poem is very similar to her own personal life. She had been writing thousand of poems, but never get one publish until so

many years later. The poem obviously describes how she suffer as a “loser,” the feeling of disappointed. Robert Frost
