Splendor In The Grass

Deanie (Natalie Wood) reads and explains lines from William Wordsworth's poem Ode: Intimations of Immortality during her English class in a scene from the film Splendor In The Grass.

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...

~ From Ode: Intimations of Immortality by William Wordsworth

This scene began my thirst for poetry years ago.
