A phonoaesthetic logophile

During my undergraduate, I was part of the honours program at my University, for which we had to take several extra courses outside my main degree.

Appie, a friend of mine, not the supermarket chain, convinced me to sign up for a course called "Rhetorics". It was a good course. I hope to write in more detail about it later but it instilled in me a certain love for words and sentences. Over the years since, I have been collecting a few words and sentences that I find beautiful.

They also reflect my journey in learning the English language and I hope you enjoy them as much as they give me pleasure rereading them now and then. For now I have put them into a simple list, but my aim is to display them in a more appropriate way. Another future project.
