Few if any modern poets or librettists exceeded Auden's deftness with rhyme and stanzaic structure. Through paradoxically conflicting-harmonious images of the woman the text captures her ambivalence and represents her alternative states of feeling through stanzaic shifts and interlinear interjections of what we might conceive of as the calls and responses--the voices--of her heart and mind. Also, their innate proportions are augmented by their auricular features, rhyme, meter, and stanzaic form. |
