It's Pablo Neruda's 109th birthday today! Let's see how the love poet of yore stacks up against our beloved songstress of modern romance.

Who Said It: Pablo Neruda Or Taylor Swift?

What a wordsmith that Neruda is.

"I want to do with you what spring does with the cherry trees."

Such poetry from Taylor.

"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go. I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home."

This is elegant prose from the intro to Tay's "I Knew You Were Trouble."

"It's like a kaleidoscope of memories. It just all comes back. But he never does."

Good ol' Pablo. So succinct.

“You are like nobody since I love you.”

This balanced prose is by Neruda.

"If little by little you stop loving me, I shall stop loving you little by little."

Taylor truly understands the human condition.

"My mind forgets to remind me you're a bad idea. You touch me once and it's really something."

Pablo speaks only the truth.

“Love is so short, forgetting is so long.”

Good use of color imagery here by Miss Swift.

"Oh, losing him was blue like I'd never known. Missing him was dark grey all along."

Pablo sure has a way with words.

"If suddenly you forget me, do not look for me for I shall already have forgotten you."

Fantastic light-night play by Neruda.

"I got lost in the night without the light of your eyelids. And when the night surrounded me I was born again."

It was Taylor! Very evocative of Shakespeare.

"Oh what a shame, what a rainy ending given to a perfect day."

Taylor again! Where's her Pulitzer?

"Never imagined we'd end like this: your name, forever the name on my lips."

This one was Pablo. So lovely, so carnal.

“I crave your mouth, your voice, your hair. Silent and starving, I prowl through the streets."

Legendary use of repetition by Taylor.

"We are never ever ever ever getting back together. Like, ever."

It was Pablo. Actually, get it together, Neruda. Slow down.

"In this part of the story, I am the one who dies. I will die of love because I love you. Love, in fire and in blood.”
