"Sweet mother, I cannot weave – slender Aphrodite has overcome me with longing for a girl"

"And the old widow goes to the stone every day, but I don't, I just sit here and wait... grieving for the living"

"One night, a few moons ago, I saw flecks of what could've been lights, but it might just have been you, passing by unbeknownst to me"

"Someone will remember us, I say, even in another time"

"In from the snow, your touch brought forth an incandescent glow, tarnished but so grand"

"Stars around the beautiful moon hide back their luminous form whenever she shines full upon the earth"

"So I peered through a window--a deep portal, time travel, all the love we unravel... and the life I gave away"

“I don’t like slow motion double vision in rose blush, I don’t like that falling feels like flying til the bone crush” 

"But come here, if ever before, when you heard my far-off cry, you listened"

“Forever is the sweetest con”

"Is it romantic how all my elegies eulogize me?"

"You set me on fire"

"Honestly, I wish I were dead"

"My best laid plan, your sleight of hand, my barren land... I am ash from your fire"

"The moon shone full, and when the maidens stood around the altar..."

"It's hard to be anywhere these days when all I want is you"

 "Now you hang from my lips like the gardens of Babylon"

"But my tongue is frozen in silence"

"All I know is we said hello, and your eyes look like coming home"

"A smile on your immortal face, asked what had happened this time, why did I call again"

Turns out Taylor Swift and Sappho (an ancient Greek lesbian poet) have more in common than you'd think. Both write about heartbreak, longing, and that very specific feeling of being dramatically in love. This quiz will show you real quotes, and you have to guess: is this from a 2,600-year-old poetry fragment or a Taylor Swift song? It's harder than it sounds.
