Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind



"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..."
Alexander Pope (1688-1744)
Eloisa to Abelard (1717), Lines 207–210

*In Ancient Rome, the Vestal Virgins (sacerdos Vestalis),
were the virgin holy priestesses of Vesta. (Wikipedia)
