DREAMS

"Two gates there are for dreams," said Penelope to Odysseus after his ten years' wanderings had ended.  "One made of horn and one of ivory.  The dreams that pass through the carved ivory delude and bring us tales that turn to naught; those that can come through polished horn accomplish real things whenever seen."

Whenever a dream comes forth from the ivory gate that is carved and made by man, shaped and twisted by his wish-thinking, his prejudices and half-formed opinions, it always falls to the ground as worthless; but whenever it comes forth from the gate that God has made, the horn that needs no carving or artificial molding, which requires only a little polishing to make it seen in all its native power and beauty--that dream always comes true.
