My question about language... Hmm...
I think my question would have to be, "What makes a word beautiful?"
Many poets say that Cellar-door is one of the most beautiful words, and when I detach the mental picture of a 'rotted, wooden, two-planks over a slanted opening' door... I can see that it is a beautiful word, but why?
What makes a word sound good... are there specific sound, or sounds that make a word beautiful to the human ear?
