I, Netzahualcoyotl, ask myself
If perchance we take root in earth:
We are not here for always,
But only for a short while.

Though it be of jade it will be shattered,
Though it be of gold it will break,
Though it be of quetzal feathers it will come apart.

Nothing last forever on earth,
But it is only here for a little while.

Translation of Poem by Aztec King Netzahualcoyotl (c.1418-1472)
