Broken spears original

Tue Nov 13 19:43:36 UTC 2007

I cannot find my copy of Leon Portilla's Broken Spears and am trying to 
figure out the original source for the famous phrases:

Broken spears lie in the roads
We have torn our hair in our grief
The houses are roofless now, and their walls
Are red with blood.

and also

The Fall of Tenochtitlán
Our cries of grief rise up
And our tears rain down
for Tlatelolco is lost.
