The Bethe-Salpeter equation is used to write formal expressions for the resonance width/mass ratio. Arguments are made concerning to what extent this ratio can be calculated perturbatively, and an upper bound is placed on the growth of this ratio as a function of radial excitation. Certain mesons and their radial excitations are considered, as well as the more general issue of classifying mesons in the quark model.9 pages uuencoded, unix compressed Postscript, HUTP-94/A030High Energy Physics - PhenomenologyMesons with a Light Quark-Antiquark Pair and the Bethe-Salpeter Equationtext
