Collar

A collar often touches honour and constraint at once — something fastened around you that lifts your standing while also holding you in place. The dream may ask whether the distinction set upon you fits, whether you feel worthy of it, and where admiration around you runs more decorative than sincere.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
