Splendor in the Grass - o trailer do filme de Elia Kazan, e a cena em que Deanie (a personagem interpretada por Natalie Wood) recita e comenta os versos do poema de William Wordsworth "Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood" que inspiraram o título do filme

Recordando W. Wordsworth, "Ode on Intimations of Immortality from Recollections of Early Childhood"

(...)

Then, sing, ye birds, sing, sing a joyous song!
          And let the young lambs bound
          As to the tabor's sound!
     We, in thought, will join your throng,
          Ye that pipe and ye that play,
          Ye that through your hearts to-day
          Feel the gladness of the May!
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;
          In the primal sympathy
          Which having been must ever be;
          In the soothing thoughts that spring
          Out of human suffering;
          In the faith that looks through death,
In years that bring the philosophic mind.
