THE MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE

The most beautiful sentences may be:
“We will save you from despair and danger.”
And,
“Somehow the bugs manipulated me to keep me from the sandwiches.”
Or,
“Always pick the melons that are 2nd from the end, or 3rd from the end if the 2nd is rotten.”
And,
“They think we may be too alert, to take awhile to fall asleep.”
And,
“The wind blew, and the sun brightened, and the leaves fell…”
And,
“Where is the priority going this morning?”
And,
“It sounds like Santa Claus might have meaning? You like the toy, you have to admit.”
And,
“Here the stars suck out the soul, and they make it into a popular song.”
And,
“(Postmodernism)… Its a development of history, responsible in its own way. It is surprisingly harder to learn than you might think at first.”
And,
“I shouldn't have manipulated such lucky people, they leave me feeling like crepe…”
And,
“I wanted to be the Giant once and for all, and then I was cold and alone…”
….
The most beautiful WORD in English is reportedly ‘sycamore’ according to poets.
I personally think ‘semaphore’, ‘elidian’ and ‘eridian’ are more beautiful (the second two words I made up).
A semaphore is a device for displaying symbols logically similar to a Boolean conjunction. Sometimes it is used metaphorically or figuratively to mean a piece of writing or art which communicates symbols to reach some new meaning.
Elidian is used in the phrase ‘elidian leap’ to mean a method of skipping to a new choice or beautiful idea which lies beyond all prior ideas.
Eridian is used in the phrase ‘Eridian style’ or ‘Eridian curve’ to mean hyperbolic curves. It is supposed to sound similar to ‘veridian’ or ‘vermilion’ which are rare colors. Eridian curves have a quality of evoking color, because like synesthesia, one cannot tell precisely where the lines end: they instead end with a quality of brilliance, ambiguity, or color.
