Fame is a fickle food upon a shifting plate?
Food is the nourishment that sustains life. By stating that fame is a food, the poet suggests that some people use it for nourishment. The real meaning of this metaphor lies in the use of the adjectives 'fickle" to describe the food, fame, and in the use of "shifting" to describe the plate used for serving fame. The poet also extends the metaphor and adds another layer of meaning when she references that crows, unlike man, actually inspect the food of fame, and see it for what it is, and flap past it to fame's opposite, the very basic farmer's corn, while men eat fame and die, suggesting that Nature is wiser than man. Obviously, Emily Dickinson is speaking of spiritual, not physical, death.
