22.4.23

From Virgil’s AENEID, Book. 6; translated by Robert Fitzgerald

There are two gates of Sleep, one said to be 
Of horn, whereby the true shades pass with ease, 
The other all white ivory agleam 
Without a flaw, and yet false dreams are sent 
Through this one by the ghosts to the upper world. 
Anchises now, his last instructions given, 
Took son and Sibyl there and let them go 
By the Ivory Gate.
