The Gates

Æneidos, Bk. VI. vv. 893-898

Sleep, and his Sister, Death;

Twins ever with Us; and theirs the keys

Of Past and Present, the Above, and the Beneath;

And, as Brother and Sister please,

Forth flutter Falsehood. Truth,

Changed, according as they pass the Gate

Of Horn or of Ivory into Joy or Ruth,

Even dreamed kindness into Hate!
