Rosette

A rosette — a decorative ribbon-knot — often touches frivolous waste of time, with pleasures that bring disappointment. The dream may ask where you're dressing things up in pretty, pointless ornament, and whether the small thrills of the showy, time-frittering pursuits you're drawn to are worth the letdown that tends to follow them.

Miller 1901

What the old dream-books say

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
