Base words are uttered only by the baseAnd.... : Quote by W.H. Auden

“ Base words are uttered only by the baseAnd can for such at once be understood;But noble platitudes — ah, there's a caseWhere the most careful scrutiny is neededTo tell a voice that's genuinely goodFrom one that's base but merely has succeeded. ”

W.H. Auden
