Nezahualcóyotl of Tezcoco (1402-1472) is known as one of the most famous, influential, and frequently cited poets of the Aztec world. During his life he received the title of tlamantini, or “he who knows something”—a title that was bestowed upon those who contemplated the ancient enigmas of humanity and the earth, as well as those of divinity and the grave. He was also the supreme ruler of Tezcoco and premier advisor of Tenochtitlan. Nezahualcóyotl has been referred to as “the poet king” by modern scholars.

from the article:

“There will be no end to my flowers”

There will be no end to my flowers, nor a ceasing to my song. I, singer, in singing lift, while they split and spread. Even after they have wilted and yellowed, they will be taken in, carried into the house of the gold-plumed bird.
