Pablo Neruda (July 12, 1904-September 23, 1973)
I met Pablo Neruda in 1996 at a bookstore in Palo Alto, California. While perusing the poetry section, I skimmed a copy of his "Selected Odes", which I later bought as a birthday present for myself.
It is now 2004, and I have twice given away that book. An editorial in the New York Times reminds me that I need to get a third copy.
Happy (upcoming) Centennial, Pablo!
