Quick Definition

Conveys a state of being lifted by triumphant joy or elation, often implying recognition, victory, or spiritual elevation.

Detailed Definition
Exulted mood in poetry conveys elevated celebration through soaring rhythm, radiant imagery, and jubilant diction; it appears in victory odes, spiritual hymns, or personal epiphanies—like Whitman or Angelou—where the speaker’s joy transcends the personal to become universal, transforming individual triumph into a shared anthem of resilience, grace, or divine affirmation.
Example
Example in poetry:
In “Ode to the West Wind,” Shelley feels exulted by the wind’s power to renew; In “Song of Myself,” Whitman is exulted by the interconnectedness of all life; In “Still I Rise,” Maya Angelou is exulted by overcoming oppression; Mary Oliver’s “The Summer Day” leaves the reader exulted by life’s possibilities; In “The Peace of Wild Things,” Wendell Berry is exulted by nature’s calm; Emily Dickinson’s “Hope is the thing with feathers” presents hope as an exulted, persistent presence.
Additional Notes
Exulted mood (passive form) suggests being lifted into joy by external forces—e.g., divine grace or collective celebration; often appears in religious or communal contexts; related to buoyed, rapturous, and overjoyed moods; useful for exploring grace, inspiration, or shared euphoria.
