What is the correct punctuation of Did you know I realize it until started this paper that poem often quoted?

The correct punctuation for the sentence is:

"Did you know I didn't realize it until I started this paper that the poem is often quoted?"

Here's why:

* "Did you know" is a question, so it needs a question mark at the end.

* "I didn't realize it" is a statement within the question, so it needs a comma after "it".

* "until I started this paper" is a dependent clause that explains when the realization occurred, so it needs a comma after "paper".

* "that the poem is often quoted" is a dependent clause that explains what the realization is, so it needs a comma after "quoted".

* "The poem" needs to be capitalized since it's a proper noun.

* "is often quoted" is a verb phrase that needs to be in the present tense to match the context of the sentence.
