 The lines Mary reads alone in bed are from "The Prophet" by Kahlil  Gibran: "Then it is better for you that you cover your nakedness and  pass out of loves threshing floor, Into the seasonless world where  you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all  of your tears," but MGM omitted the reference to "nakedness" to  avoid offending the censors.
