I keep seeing icons of Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (one of my favorite movies) and it's making me want to dye my hair a neon color and buy an orange sweatshirt.

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;
Labour and rest, that equal periods keep;
"Obedient slumbers that can wake and weep;"
Desires compos'd, affections ever ev'n,
Tears that delight, and sighs that waft to Heav'n.
-- Alexander Pope, "Eloisa to Abelard" (1717)
