The Brethren
Read 'The Brethren' by 'Johann Wolfgang von Goethe' and provide your summary and literary analysis in the comments section below.
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.
1789.*
