Cherubs

To see cherubs in a dream marks a distinct joy that leaves a lasting good impression upon us. The dream tends to touch the small, bright spirits of innocent gladness, and to ask what pure happiness is visiting us, and whether we are letting it leave its mark — the kind of joy that stays with us long after it has passed.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

These are the entries the historical dream-books record for cherubs, in their own words. They are period voices, not predictions, and they do not always agree with one another.

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
