狄金森虽然没有过跌宕起伏的人生经历，但她有一颗敏感的心和善于想象与思考的头脑。这使得她对人生有清醒的认识，能够在平凡的人生中感受生活的冷暖，体悟人生的真谛。她在诗中说："从未成功的人们／认为成功最甜蜜——／要领略仙酒的滋味／须经最痛楚的寻觅"。这是对古往今来多少怀揣着成功梦想的人们的坦诚相告，其中饱含着人生的苦痛，蕴含着深刻的人生启迪，更是她自己一生不懈追随诗神的心灵写照。(Although Dickinson didn't experience the ups and downs of her life, but she had a sensitive, imaginative and good thinking brain, and this made her have a clear idea of life, and feel the warmth or coldness and meaning of life in the ordinary course of life. She wrote in the poem: "Success is counted sweetest / By those who ne'er succeed. To comprehend a nectar/ Requires sorest need." This is an honest advice for people with dreams of success from ancient to modern times, it contains the pains and profound enlightenment, and furthermore, it is a heart portrayal of her persistent pursuing for the god of poetry during her whole life.)
