The most beautiful words in the English language, according to Angela

I've read lists of the most beautiful words and felt inspired to create my own. I'm not going digging through dictionaries or including words that I haven't used at least a dozen times in my life. My criteria is simply personal preference based on look, sound, and meaning. They are off the top of my head, in no particular order:

~ lush ~ luscious ~ landscape ~ ephemeral ~ epiphany ~ ethereal ~ plethora ~ lullaby
~ eloquent ~ loquacious ~ candor ~ felicity ~ soliloquy ~ elegant ~ gallantry
~ chivalrous ~ archaic ~ revelry ~ demure ~ labyrinth ~ sumptuous ~ eclipse ~ floral
~ fauna ~ revocation ~ evocative ~ tribunal ~ tributary ~ font ~ fountain ~ mountain
~ flourish ~ emphasis ~ polymorphic ~ infatuated ~ tendril ~ lavish ~ inspire
~ spiral ~ infinity ~ eternity ~ philanthropy ~ osmosis ~ nourish ~ sunshine
~ essence ~ omniscience ~ pristine ~ deciduous ~ glacier ~ antique ~ cadence
~ rhythm ~ divinity ~ provincial ~ lyrical ~ calligraphy ~ lovely ~ vivacious ~ tertiary
~ semblance ~ angelic ~ fluidity ~ flirtatious ~ phenomenon ~ mystical
~ peaceful ~ tranquil ~ precious ~ charisma ~ jasmine ~ clandestine ~ ambiance
~ resplendent ~ splendor ~ whimsical ~ fondant ~ affinity

Ugh! Alright, I give up. I think I could go on forever. It might just be easier to list the words I don't like.
