Fame is a bee. by Emily Dickinson

Fame is a bee.
It has a song—
It has a sting—
Ah, too, it has a wing.

More from Emily Dickinson:

• Success is counted sweetest
• Surgeons must be very careful
• Tell all the truth but tell it slant
• There is no Frigate like a Book
• There’s a certain Slant of light
• They shut me up in Prose
