WHAT IS FAME?

What is fame? ’Tis the sun-gleam on the mountain, Spreading brightly ere it flies; ’Tis the bubble on the fountain, Rising lightly ere it dies; Or, if here and there a hero Be remembered through the years, Yet to him the gain is zero— Death has stilled his hopes and fears.
Yet what dangers men will dare If but only in the air May be heard some eager mention of their name, Tho they hear it not themselves, ’tis much the same.
—Anon.
