Flight

Flight — fleeing, or watching something flee from you — often touches disgrace and the reckoning of a name not kept clean, yet to see another run is to prevail. The dream may ask what you're running from, whether your character can withstand scrutiny, and where standing your ground might turn a contest in your favour.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
