The Latin quote "sedibus ut saltem placidis in morte quiescam" from Virgil is translated into English as "That at least in death I'll find a peaceful haven".

The Aeneid by Vergil (Virgil) is a story of a band of survivors who leave their destroyed city to seek another home in a faraway land, and it is about rebirth, about life springing forth from ruin and death. It is primarily a work of fiction whose narrative fabric, woven from myth and legend, traces a pattern that appears in the most profound myths concerning the human spirit's eternal quest for self-perpetuation.
