Two brothers clomb; and turning face from face

Nor one look more exchanging, grief to still

Or feed, each planted on that lofty place

A chosen tree. Then eager to fulfil

Their courses, like two new-born rivers they

In opposite directions urged their way

Down from the far-seen mount. No blast might kill

Or blight the fond memorial. The trees grew,

And now entwine their arms; but ne’er again

Embraced those brothers upon earth’s wide plain,
