    "Ce mot est cité plusieurs fois depuis le début du xxᵉ siècle comme l’un des plus beaux mots purement phonétiquement.\n:* “Your language too has soft and beautiful words, but they are not always appreciated. What could be more musical than your word cellar-door?” — (William Dean Howells, Editor’s easy chair, Harper’s Magazine, vol. 645, mars 1905)\n:* Most English-speaking people […] will admit that cellar door is “beautiful”, especially if dissociated from its sense (and from its spelling). More beautiful than, say, sky, and far more beautiful than beautiful. — (J. R. R. Tolkien, L’Anglais et le Gallois (English and Welsh), 1955)"
