    Emily Dickinson wrote three poems about the fleeting and fickle nature of fame. In the first poem, fame is compared to a shifting plate at a table that is only set once. In the second poem, fame does not last as its occupant must either die or ascend out of sight. The third poem likens fame to a bee that has a song, a sting, and a wing.

    Poems

    Fame is a fickle food (1702)

    BY EM ILY DICKINSON

    Fame is a fickle food

    Upon a shifting plate

    Whose table once a

    Guest but not

    The second time is set

    Whose crumbs the crows inspect

    And with ironic caw

    Flap past it to the

    Farmer’s corn

    Men eat of it and die

    Fame is the one that does not stay — (1507)

    BY EM ILY DICKINSON

    Fame is the one that does not stay —

    It's occupant must die

    Or out of sight of estimate

    Ascend incessantly —

    Or be that most insolvent thing

    A Lightning in the Germ —

    Electrical the embryo

    But we demand the Flame


    Fame is a bee. (1788)

    BY EM ILY DICKINSON

    Fame is a bee.

    It has a song—

    It has a sting—

    Ah, too, it has a wing.
