The most beautiful words in the English language

For Henry James, it was two: "summer afternoon". For L'il Abner it was also two: "Daisy Mae". For Phillip Larkin it was a single verb: "unbutton" For me, it's a whole lexicon: Peggy, Alison, Tony, London, jazz, Gatsby, Berkeley, Red Wings. I also have a few from other tongues: Che Bella Giornata, Chic, La Meme Chose, and my favorite Russian word, "Nichevo". It doesn't translate exactly but means something like, "so what?" You can hear it sung by Jackie Cain in a cynical love song called "So It's Spring?". Nichevo!
