(Auden's Romanticism chart from Swarthmore College)"In writing words to be set to music, one has to remember that, probably, only one word in three will be heard. So, one must avoid complicated imagery. Suitable are verbs of motion, interjections, lists, and nouns like moon, sea, love, death." - W.H. Auden (The Paris Review, Spring 1974)
