• the title of film is drawn from the poem Eloisa to Abelard of Alexander Pope, quoted in film:

How happy is the blameless Vestal' S batch!

The world forgetting, by the world forgot;

Eternal sunshine off the spotless mind!

Each pray' R accepted, and each wish resign' D .
translation in French:

That the fate of the irreproachable vestal is happy!

the forgetting world, by the forgotten world;

Glare eternal of the immaculate spirit!

Each exaucée prayer, and each declined wish

literary translation of Aime Feutry:

That the fate of a Virgin can excite the desire!

Virtuous, it carries out a quiet life;

Of the beneficial spirits, full with innocent lies,

Makes be born and fly its more pleasant dreams.

freer translation in the doubled French version of film:

O you them happy vestals

soft irreproachable partners, that your hearts are happy since insensitive

O full sun the head, O major grace

virtue, girl of the sky, crowned lapse of memory of the world
