I heard you knocking at my "cellar door", i love you baby, can i have some more, ......, the damage done.... (neil y.)

Tolkien, but in the film "Donnie Darko", Drew Barrymore's character attributes the quote to a famous linguist, possibly Poe.
Correct! The prize goes to Anonymous, Anonymous the latter. And extra credit for the Donnie Darko reference. I remember her mentioning it in DD, I don't remember if she credits Tolkien.
And hey, I'll accept the Neil Young answer too!
I think Henry James's favourite most beautiful phrase was "summer afternoon"?
I will submit "windowsill" as the most beautiful word in the English language.
windowsill is fucking lovely.
As discussed with emmett long ago, "fireplace" must be the most primitive word.
