Lacrimae rerum refers to a selection from The Aeneid by Virgil. The passage, found on line 462 of Book I [1], is: "sunt lacrimae rerum et mentem mortalia tangunt", spoken as Aeneas contemplated artwork on a Carthaginian temple representing the Trojan War [2], which can be translated as: "these are the tears of things, and our mortality cuts to the heart".
