And as we walk with poems in movies, Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind , there is a scene in which Kirsten Dunst (in character) reads as follows:
How happy is the blameless vestal's lot! The
Forgetting world, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind! Each
pray'r accepted, and Each wish resign'd;
The quote is an excerpt from a fairly long poem Alexander Pope called "Eloisa to Abelard ." English (translation attempt) would be something like:
How happy are the innocent!
Forgetting the world, and forgotten it
Eternal Sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted and each, a waiver "
For those who have not seen the movie or do not remember the scene:
