When A Language Dies

Rating: 0 - 0 votes

This page is about a company.

When a language dies,

the divine things,

stars, sun and moon,

the human things.

to think and to feel,

are no longer reflected

in this mirror.

When a language dies,

all that there is in this world,

oceans and rivers,

animals and plants,

do not think of them,

do not pronounce their names,

they do not exist now.

"When a Language Dies", translated from the Aztec by Miguel Leon Portillo (English translation: John Ross)
