The title of "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind"
is taken from Alexander Pope's long poem Eloisa to Abelard,


"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot

The world forgetting, by the world forgot

Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind

Each prayer accepted and each wish resigned."

"How happy is a person who is pure and flawless. He who

forgets the world, the world forgets him

. The sun in the flawless heart is eternally shining.

Every prayer is accepted, and every wish is fulfilled."
