Background Information on Los Días de los Muertos
We only come to sleep, only to dream.
Oh, we will go...rejoice!
Netzahualcóyotl
It is not true,
it is not true that we come to live on this earth!
We become as spring weeds,
we grow green and open the petals of our hearts;
our body is a plant in flower,
it gives flowers and it dies away.
I, Netzahualcóyotl, say.
Does one really live with roots in this earth?
Not always on this earth,
only a little while here!
Even jade breaks;
just as gold breaks,
Even the quetzal plumes fall apart:
Not always on this earth,
only a little while here!
(poet and king of Tezcoco 1402-1472)
