| I think there's very little by E.Y. Harburg that isn't brilliant. But I also think that when a theater lyric is good, it doesn't need to be justified as poetry. Every really good theater lyric justifies itself, because the craft is, in fact, more demanding than poetry. I have hundreds and hundreds of favorite lyrics, but if I stop to think about them now I'll lose my post! So I'll try to come back later and name a few favorites. |
