Famous Quotes By Nezahualcoyotl
What shall I take with me?
Will I let nothing behind me over the earth?
How shall my heart act?
Is it that we come in vain to live,
to sprout over the earth?
Let us leave at least flowers,
let us leave at least songs. — Nezahualcoyotl
So said Tochihuitzin,
so said Coyolchiuhqui:
We come out of the dream suddenly,
we only come to dream,
it isn't true, it isn't true
that we come to live on the earth.
Like grass in spring
is our being.
Our heart makes them grow,
flowers sprout from our flesh.
Some open their corollas,
then they become dry.
So said Tochihuitzin. — Nezahualcoyotl
