"How happy is the blameless Vestals lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot;
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each prayer accepted, and each wish resigned."
--Alexander Pope

Vestal--a pure, virtuous woman--something I wish I was.
Spotless mind--something I wish I had.

To me, roughly translated, it means:
How happy are those who remain pure and chaste!
Free from the cares and blemishes of the world;
Free from sorrow, regret, and compelling temptations!
All prayers accepted by God, because the heart and soul is dedicated/covenanted to serve Him.
Is that what it truly means? Only you can decide.
