"Even the quetzal's plumage fades"

“Do we truly live upon this earth?

Not for ever on this earth, only a short time here.

All things, even jade, will crack,

all things, even gold, will break,

even the quetzal’s plumage fades;

not for ever on this earth, only a short time here”.

Nahuatl poem on the fleeting nature of all things,

from the album of Jordi Savall “Paraisos Perdidos- CHRISTOPHORUS COLUMBUS”
