"The Most Beautiful Sentence in the English Language?"

Steve Goddard, over at Ship of Fools, has been in touch with news that he's been encouraging his readers to construct a sentence using those same beautiful words. Money quote:

"Demurely, I gambolled in my bucolic bungalow, brooding on a dalliance with an eloquent, evanescent palimpsest which would be the cynosure of all, evocative of halcyon glamour, redolent of the riparian petrichor of the Susquehanna; incipient it was, until an insouciant harbinger made an ebullient epiphany by my inglenook, to murmur, "'Ere! The ratatouille's conflating, and it's gone all effervescent!" and wafted out again, leaving me languid and woebegone for my ephemeral leisure."

Is that not now the most beautiful sentence in the English language?"

Well, I may not be a true sesquipedalian, but I am definitely into the latter stage of being a true sexagenarian.

"Sexagenarian" does not necessarily translate into sexy senior citizen.

Wow! Pafret, that was a great sentence! I, being a prairie dwelling redneck don't have the vocablaristic ability to understand it all without a lot of googling. But....it sounds wonderful!

As for the other responders here, I can't help you!😆
Their butchrizeification of the English language is a puzzle to me!😈

Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.


Beautifully fulfilling in its lusterous wonder
Ascending from wabe, whimsically elusive.
Nor tame lest it wither
Bring forth divinity to behold....

Just read your new thread, BB.

Think of how much the government could take in on taxing your flirtations with L-J.
