“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.” MenPastDiesFoodFameTablesCookingCulinaryFarmersIronicGuestsPlatesShiftingCornCrowFickleCrumbs Book:Delphi Complete Works of Emily Dickinson (Illustrated) Source: Delphi Complete Works of Emily Dickinson (Illustrated)
“The cold hand of history, which is for ever robbing us of some of our oldest and best cherished stories, points rigidly to the fact that no such person as King Arthur ever presided over a Round Table.
