Fame (Revised)

by Robin Ouzman Hislop — Read all 170 poems by Robin Ouzman Hislop

Saturday, November 15, 2003

Fame, in everything & nothing gain.
Thus, you make me out of your name,
my own name, your name, fame, I am.

The few who never were but for fame,
even now inform me that I am.

Then I too can let writing inform fame,
inform the more than I am fame, I am.

Let fame but encounter my nom de plume,
alike as history is recorded nom de plume.

To the toll of the red masque death´s dance,
the vampire in Xanadu´s ruins does prance,
Caliban sealed in a cavern, in the hall of fame,
a vampire at an art exhibition, blood in the air,
we drink, burnt at the stake, fame we share.

Fame is a very powerful, and a very fickle, mistress. You have captured its essence in a way that I never seen. Bravo!

What a twisting weaving of words this piece is, Robin! This passage is throwing my mind into spasms of discomfitted satisfaction!

"Then I too can let writing inform fame,
inform the more than I am fame, I am."
