Answer:

The above statement is true.

Explanation:

The line "Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting" is both a metaphor and a paradox.

A metaphor is a figure of speech in which two things are compared with each other which are very different from each other but they have at characteristic common to each other. In the above statement, birth has been compared to 'sleep' and the process of 'forgetting'. Here the process of being born has been compared with a slow-moving away from God. It has been assumed that before being born, a person lives with God. Later when he is born, he starts his journey to move away from god.

At the same time, this statement is an example of a paradox. A paradox is a figure of speech in which contradictory or logically unacceptable elements exists in the same sentence. The above sentence is a paradoxical statement because here 'birth' has been said to be a 'sleep' which is the contradictory idea altogether.
