Cameo Brooch

A cameo brooch — a carved face fixed in stone, worn close — marks in the old books some sad occurrence soon to claim our attention. The dream tends to touch the keepsake that holds a likeness against the heart, and to ask what coming sorrow is being quietly signalled, and whom or what we are being asked to hold in mind.

What the old dream-books say
