Emily Dickinson

The Clover’s Simple Fame

The Clover’s Simple Fame - meaning Summary

Fame Versus Humble Worth

The poem contrasts modest, practical worth with ostentatious fame. A clover remembered and eaten by a cow embodies genuine value that outlasts ‘‘enameled realms’’ of fame. Public renown, personified, diminishes the flower it praises, while the daisy that seeks or notices attention loses its natural strength. Dickinson favors quiet usefulness and warns that self-conscious recognition corrodes simple, unassuming vitality.
