These words are some of the most beautiful and resonant in the English language. Each one
should have the effect of improving a passage of writing. A lot of them are phono aesthetic,
which means they have a quality of sound that appeals to people. That is why Tolkien, Edgar
Allen Poe, Japanese, Italians and Spanish people amongst others all love the word: CELLAR
DOOR. The fact that it is two words didn’t seem to concern them! My own personal
favourite is frazil-silver. Frazil is the archaic term for the ice crystals tumbling down a
mountain stream. If there’s a better image out there than frazil-silver ice crystals cascading
down a birthstone-blue mountain stream, I would love to hear about it!

A great exercise to test someone’s English skills is to divide the words into rows of 5 or
columns of twenty. Using a dictionary if necessary, try to compose a story using those words.
Repeat the exercise regularly and you will find that your English skills will be much
improved. Not only does it broaden your diction, but it also helps you to manipulate words
into their proper context. If you can think of more beautiful words, you should keep them in a
special section in your vocabulary notebook. The word ‘eunoia’ means ‘beautiful thinking’.
My hope is that by reading this book, all those who like to progress at English will write with
both eunoia and stardust. Thanks, God bless, and may you prosper.
