"Valour and vanquish" rings wonderfully as a phrase. <3

Not that it's necessarily beautiful, but my favorite word is immolate.

I also like fiery, adrenaline, crimson, and venom- though I might be a bit biased on that last one. :wink:

Perseverance is my favorite.
Review unto others as you would have others review unto you.

Don't panic!

Catalyst. I love not only the sound, but the meaning - a spark that leads to an inferno. It's passionate, it's rebellious, and nonconforming.

When I think about it, 'of', for all it encompasses and its usefulness in poetry.

or maybe I just love it in my handwriting

I think 'pandemonium' is beautiful, and I adore the definition (it's my favourite word, hence the username). I also love 'crestfallen' - I think it sounds so dramatic and tragic. I adore words. People find it weird when I say that I read the dictionary out of leisure, but they really don't know what they're missing out on.

I love them too, I used to collect words... Literally, I "found" them and put them in this navy-blue little box of mine. xD
"Some say the world will end in fire;
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice." - Robert Frost

I love the word Paronomasia. It's a literary device, I believe, but it just sounds so nice to say! XD

I also like Phenomenon! The meaning and the word is awesome! ^u^

Elegance and Beautiful are pretty good. (But I'm a hopeless romantic, so yeah)

I think 'serenity' is a nice word.
Someone told me there's a girl out there, with love in her eyes and flowers, in her hair.

Pumpernickel, cauliflower, and perilous are all fun to say.

I like 'masquerade' too. All French words sound beautiful.
