Wooden Shoe

A wooden shoe — the clog of the poor and plodding — often touches lonely wanderings and penniless circumstances, with unfaithfulness for those in love. The dream may ask where a hard, clattering poverty is walking you down solitary roads, and whether the unyielding footing reflects loneliness, want, and a love that may not hold.

Miller 1901

Gustavus Hindman Miller, 1901
