Uncover the special moment of the very most Beautiful Words within the British Language

Summer time mid-day – summer time mid-day in my experience individuals will always be two of the most beautiful words within the British language.’ Henry James.

Do you know the most breathtaking words within the British language? The solution to this subjective question will clearly vary for every person depending, because it does, around the meaning, the seem, the context, and also the connotation from the word or words under consideration.

‘Words strain,

Crack and often break, underneath the burden,

Underneath the tension, slip, slide, perish,

Decay with imprecision, won’t remain in place,

Won’t stay still.’

T.S. Eliot, ‘Four Quartets’
