Immortality They shall not wither, my flowers,
they shall not cease, my songs.
I, the singer, lift them up.
They are scattered, they spread about.
Even though on earth my flowers
may wither and yellow,
they will be carried there,
to the innermost house
of the bird with the golden feathers.
-Nezalhualcoyotl (León-Portilla 1969:89).
