The 9/11 Memorial Museum inscription reads (with attribution to Vergil) “NO DAY SHALL ERASE YOU FROM THE MEMORY OF TIME,” which is a translation of part of Vergil's description of the deaths of the Trojan warriors Nisus and Euryalus. Having now read the full Vergilian context (i.e. Aeneid 9) of the inscription, do you think it was an appropriate choice for this specific monument, which honors the victims of the World Trade Center attack?
