| | Article on Pope's Eloisa to Abelard |
 | | Eloisa's persisting tendency to translate the spiritual experience into erotic terms indicates that the spiritual union she attains in the course of her contemplation, a state surpassing anything she has heretofore achieved, encompasses rather than eliminates sexual response. | | | That Eloisa possesses the potential for transcending her temporal, impassioned state to this eternal and spiritual Elysium is indicated in the opening passages of the poem. | | | Generally, the overridden question is "Does Eloisa succeed in replacing Abelard with God?" In other words, is the heroine accurate in her assertion that grace is dawning on her soul near the end of the epistle and that in place of Abelard's "idea" she can now welcome those amicable guests that are associated with spirituality. |

| | Literary Encyclopedia: Eloisa to Abelard |
| | Abelard's image steals between God and herself; his voice intrudes in every hymn she sings; and she drops a tear for him for every rosary bead she tells. | | | To appease her uncle, Abelard married Heloise (although she protested that she preferred to remain his mistress) on condition the marriage remain secret, since he was bound to celibacy if he was to advance in the Church. | | | Eloisa's daily life is constantly torn by conflicting thoughts of Abelard and God (263-302). |

| | One minute she says that "all is not heaven's while Abelard has part of [her] heart" and the next she claims that her passions and love for him have been "quenched" in the convent. | | | At one point, Eloisa is describing her past with Abelard and I am pretty sure she is saying that she would rather be a mistress than be a wife. | | | She seems to be tormenting h erself in trying to choose between Abelard and God. |

| | Medieval Sourcebook: Heloise: Letter to Abelard |
| | The textual tradition of the letters is problematic, with none of the nine known manuscripts dating from before 1350 [Radice 46]. | | | Following Barbara Newman's article in Virile Woman to WomanChrist: Studies in Medieval Religion and Literature, (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 1995), 46-75, in which she both argues for the letters' authenticity, and discusses why it was called into question, the current consensus (although not unanimous) seems to be that they are genuine. | | | It consists of six letters, the first of them entitled Abelard to Philintus, following more or less the line of the History of the Calamities, though with such startling interpolations as the following: |

| | Renascence: Precious to grace: Necessary desolation in Pope's Eloisa to Abelard |
| | Moreover, Eloisa, as Pope represents her, experiences the excruciating movements between spiritual desolation and consolation. | | | To appreciate Pope's sharply focused conflict between Eloisa's religious vows and her love for Abelard-a perspective the Hughes translation effaces-we must know something of the story's historical roots. | | | Marilyn Francus, who reports that Pope had read the Metaphysical poets, Donne and Crashaw in particular, as early as 1706, argues that Eloisa to Abelard manifests the characteristics of the Metaphysical devotional poem: the conflict between human and divine love, which, after much vacillation, is resolved by creating a divine lover, namely Abelard (485). |

| | Eloisa has joined a convent after the unfortunate castration of her lover and in the passage in question, she expresses envy for the virginal nuns. | | | Thanks to a very helpful article,* I learn that the poem is an expression of the struggle between Eloise’s commitment to God and her longing for Abelard. | | | The summary at the bottom does little to shed light on the lines in question, but at least I understand now that Eloisa is writing this to her former lover, Abelard, who abandoned her after being tormented and castrated by her uncle’s hired goons. |

| | Indeed, part of my point will be that the arguments Wimsatt and Beardsley raised then, in what we tend now to think of as an ancient episode in literary theory, pose objections to contemporary gender criticism that have yet to be answered in any convincing way. | | | Yet not a word of the text has changed. | | | The first is that it is hard to see how, insofar as it begins from a notion of male writers as in some necessary sense misogynist, a properly feminist interpretation of Eloisa to Abelard could come to any other conclusion. |

| | Although he had been writing poetry since the age of 12, his first major contribution to the literary world is considered to be An Essay on Criticism, which was published in 1711 when he was 23. | | | This was followed by The Rape of the Lock ( 1712, revised 1714), his most popular poem; Eloisa to Abelard and Elegy to the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady ( 1717); and several shorter works, of which perhaps the best are the epistles to Martha Blount. |

| | Guardian Unlimited Guardian daily comment It hurts so good |
| | The title Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind is taken from Pope's poem Eloisa to Abelard in which Eloisa, condemned to a nunnery, rages against the pain of losing her lover. | | | It alludes not to the perfect happiness of eternal sunshine but to the chilling prospect of how a brain washed of pain is also washed of passion. | | | But there is a real difference between exploring with a psychotherapist the difficult stuff about being human and setting out to "cure" the human condition with lasers, drugs or mind-altering techniques. |
