Pope, Alexander: Eloisa To Abelard, v1, 1 February 2010.

Alexander Pope [1688-1744]
Eloisa To Abelard [1717]

A poem in which Pope imagines Heloise’s feelings about Abelard, in the form of a letter from her convent.

One line from the poem became a film title:

“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 resign’d”
