... Euphony and the Art of Writing. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

Somerset Maugham: Born in Paris, Maugham absorbed the lessons of euphony from the French masters. He re-introduced the concept of simple sentence structure at a time when late Victorian writers were running amok. Try any of his short story masterpieces to see how simplicity, lucidity and euphony are linked in his writing style.
