How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd
--Eloisa to Abelard
I just saw Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind for the first time. I absolutely loved it. I feel retarded because I sat on my couch at the end of it just weeping.
Then I tracked down the poem that the quote in the movie comes from and was blown away by it. If you have not seen the movie, please, do so. If you have seen it but have not read the poem, here's a link for ya.
