        Then surely she said "reciting poetry."  But seriously, even
though I'm a native speaker, I think English is a beautiful language.
At least, "beautiful" in the Jackson Pollack sense. :)  But for truly
pulchritudinous (heh) languages, you have to look at constructed ones.
Call it cliche, but I still think the most aesthetically pleasing
language out there is Quenya, with some other languages by fellow list
members (i.e., Teonaht, whose sounds I fell in love with the first time
I looked at them) following close behind.
