| Summary | "Love or Fame; and Other Poems" by Fannie Isabelle Sherrick is a collection of lyrical poetry written during the late 19th century. The poems explore themes central to human experience, particularly the emotional landscapes of love, ambition, and the complexities of womanhood, weaving a rich tapestry of nostalgia, longing, and self-discovery. At the start of the collection, the poem "Girlhood" introduces us to Hilda, a young woman standing on the threshold of adulthood, embodying both the innocence of youth and the weight of growing aspirations. As she reflects on her surroundings—dreamily contemplating the beauty of the ocean and the joy of nature—Hilda begins to grapple with the tensions between her simple, serene life and the chaotic allure of fame. The poem captures her internal struggle as she longs for a life of deeper meaning, symbolized by the conflicting elements of love and the desire for recognition, setting the stage for her personal journey through the subsequent parts of the collection.
