Tolkien once praised the phrase "cellar door" as one of the most beautiful sounds in the English language. While reviewing vocabulary for the GRE, I came across a few words that struck me as particularly beautiful:
Craven
Gossamer
Jabber
Nefarious
Some words, however, are just awful:
Pulchritude: (n) physical beauty.
I'm sure I'd be slapped if I ever tell a girl I find her pulchritudinous.
