And the fountain covers your face, forever,

You will have departed forever from your mistake.

And the man that is more than a man in you

Will wake at last from the clean forgetting

And stand up, and look about him,

Ready again for the business of being a man.

But Huitzilopochtli touched the hand of Quetzalcoatl

And one green leaf sprang among the black.

The green leaf of Malintzi

Who pardons once, and no more.”
