The Brethren.

    By Johann Wolfgang von Goethe



    Slumber and Sleep, two brethren ordain'd by the gods to their service,

    Were by Prometheus implored, comfort to give to his race;
    But though so light to the gods, too heavy for man was their burden,

    We in their slumber find sleep, we in their sleep meet with death.
