RENOWN

[/rɪˈnaʊn/]

Definition

A degree of distinction between notoriety and fame—a little more supportable than the one and a little more intolerable than the other.
Sometimes it is conferred by an unfriendly and inconsiderate hand.

Additional notes

I touched the harp in every key, But found no heeding ear; And then Ithuriel touched me With a revealing spear. Not all my genius, great as 'tis, Could urge me out of night. I felt the faint appulse of his, And leapt into the light! W.J. Candleton
