my old college roomie, mel, introduced me to her favorite movie, which quickly became one of mine.

splendor in the grass starring natalie wood (gorgeous) and warren beatty (what a total stud) is a heartbreaking and beautiful tale of first love that ends with a lines from William Wordsworth's "Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"

What though the radiance which was once so bright
Be now for ever taken from my sight,
Though nothing can bring back the hour
Of splendour in the grass, of glory in the flower;
We will grieve not, rather find
Strength in what remains behind...
