Literature | Ivory Gate of Dreams (The). Dreams which delude pass through this gate, those which come true pass through the Gate of Horn. This fancy depends upon two puns: ivory in Greek is elephas, and the verb elephairo means "to cheat with empty hopes;" the Greek for horn is keras, and the verb karanoo means "to accomplish." "Sunt geminæ somni portæ: quarum altera fertur Cornea, qua veris facilis datur exitus umbris; Altera candenti perfecta nitens elephanto; Sed falsa ad coelum mittunt insomnia manes." Virgil: Æneid, vl. 894-897. Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |
