There are many words and expressions that have an internal aesthetic quality that acts as a kind of balm for the mind and spirit. "Mellifluous" and "euphonious" (appropriately enough). "Concatenation"; "azure"; "Come what sorrow can, It cannot countervail the exchange of joy"; "a truant to where the blue begins".
And - one of my personal favorites - "Ex-Senator Chuck Hagel".

need anyone say anything else?
I'm not real fond of "ex". I think "late" Senator is a purtier appellation to use to refer to Hagel.
ReplyDeleteSo, why are we hageling?
