The Lost Gods
by Dorothy Quick
From the backwaters of the Universe came two Beings—radiant, terrible—to challenge the love of a mortal man and woman!
It seemed as though everyone entered into a conspiracy to keep me from marrying Harvey Winters. Even Harvey himself.
He asked me to be his wife in stiff, old-fashioned phraseology, almost as though it were against his will, and then before I had a chance to answer, said: I must tell you that though I love you I am not the man you should marry. I don’t think it’s in me to make any woman happy because of the Dream Woman.
The dream woman?
I exclaimed.
All my life I’ve had strange dreams of a beautiful, wonderful woman. I can’t describe her because her loveliness is beyond words. She comes to me in dreams. I’ve spent my life searching for her counterpart even though I knew such a glorious being could never be of earth. It always seems as though I’m being pulled to far away places to search for her. That’s why I came to Mexico. I’ll always worship her in a strange, indefinable way, but I love you, Irene, though I’m not sure I can make you happy—because of her.
I looked at him. His eyes were shining with the faraway look I had often seen in them. He had wonderful eyes, black, deeply set under straight, heavy brows. His mouth was firm, his jaws strong, his nose finely chiselled. His hair grew in blond tight curls all over his head and gave him the look of a Rubens painting.
I’m not afraid of dreams,
I said boldly.
It’s almost as though she were real.
Harvey, at least, was honest.
But she isn’t, and you do love me,
I exclaimed triumphantly.
I lifted my face to his and in the magic of our kiss forgot that some scientist had said, Dreams are more real than reality until they are shown to be false.
No one was happy over my engagement, and when we announced we were going to be married as soon as the license could be procured, everyone was miserable. If I hadn’t been of age my family would have forbidden the match entirely.
"After all,
