The emblem of “Tenochtitlan” shows an eagle standing on a cactus holding the "Atl Tlachinolli" is a
Nahuatl word which, in the closest approximation to our Spanish language, translates as "burnt water",
"water in embers", or "water in fire"; a glyph that embodies the duality of these two elements.

LE ROMAN DE LA ROSE
XCI
16643
There is only one phoenix on earth
Who until his last hour
Lives five hundred years. At last,
He makes a great fire with spices
And throws himself into it, without further ado,
To reduce his body to ashes;
But the species does not perish.
From his ashes, after his death,
Another Phoenix is born,
Or the same, by order
Of God; Nature thus remade
The species that Death threatened.
Phoenix is the common form
Which Nature ever reforms
And which would soon disappear
So alive another was left.The species would lose all its being
If I did not bring it back to life,
So that when the Phoenix is dead,
the living Phoenix still remains.
A thousand Death devoured,
The species is always eternal.
This privilege is equally enjoyed by
all things that are
Beneath the circle of the moon;
So long as only one remains,
The species will perpetuate itself,
And never shall Death extinguish it.
But sweet and pious Nature,
when she sees Death the envious,
Accompanied by corruption,
Wanting to destroy
the pieces she has in her forge,
therefore she hammers and forges.
