It's not something that can be explained. Either you get it or you don't, like music. I'm not trying to be pretentious here, it's just the way it is.
Or, hey, what do I know, maybe Tolkien did explain it in writing. If so, I haven't read that.

Seasonal words are high class. Vernal is one I enjoy.

Personally, avuncular because it says what it means without looking just like it. Also sussurus and sibilant. Radiant is great as is empyrean. I like canopy, too. Favorite word is probably transience.

vowel sounds are naturally pleasing when they move from the back of your mouth to the front. think: tick tock, big bad wolf, zig zag, etc. Part of what makes cellar door good is that it moves from back to front (with three traps along the way). cell-ar-door, back-middle-front.

I like the word crusade.
It is like a crouton, a piece of fried bread no bigger than the width of my thumb, and it makes a sound like lightning when you crush it as it crackles.
It is like 'to say', to procure an action with words of intent. To give meaning to the future, so that the other characters in your story can adjust and prepare for what is to come.
It is like "aid", not as in the AIDS disease, but help, to forgive, to show compassion and mercy, and relieve suffering and pain in the process.
Crusade is also the only word in the english language that cannot be perfectly translated into any other language. It is isolated. It only has meaning to the Commonwealth world.
Of course, it has its own meaning, as a word. To go out and venture in the beyond, to retrieve the righteous and to forgive the sinners. To set them free. To make glory of the wrongdoings of the past. To journey into the wilderness and come back with a thousand slain boars in the name of justice.
Crusade... crusade... crusade.

>Herzen's story of his privileged childhood among the Russian aristocracy is lit with the insight of a great novelist. With a trained historian's sense of the interaction of people and events, he limns the grand line of revolutionary development from the earliest stirrings of Russian radicalism through the tumultuous ideological debates of the international.

For me these three Portuguese words:

>Libélula
It means dragonfly. The word itself is light and glittering, like a living-thing build with bones of crystal. It just describes the insect perfectly.

>Caracol
It means snail. The world rolls over inside your mouth; it makes the tongue assume the very form of the snail.

>Orquídea
It means, as you people can guess, orchid. The main thing is the “ídea” in the middle, the accent in that “i”. It’s like a sting right in the middle of a word - like the stinger of a scorpion - that has something of savage and strange in its sound. If one looks to the orchid flower you almost can see the sting of an animal, the tooth of some sort of lizard head.

i hold no aspersion or aversion to your definition. but do not tread upon mine, lost and forgotten wit of the jacobean era. my definition of "aesthetic" is thus: having to do with beauty and what is beautiful. to me, the waves and vibrations propagated through air are beautiful; strings and violins and trumpets banding together in threnody are beautiful. you philosophers are so overrefined that you can only read beauty out of a book, when it's all around you.

Fine. Write me a treatise or essay convincing me of this fact, dear xir. I jest, xir, I jest... Take down your quill, at once!

The reason why Kant divides pleasures of the agreeable kind, or that of the beautiful, is because he wants us to reach a type of cultural understanding of mental powers. Of course, I love looking at the flowers, or listening to music, or enjoying people's bodies, but I don't think that they are bringing me anywhere closer to an intersubjective understanding (since Kant obviously believes the mind which takes in outer objects is subjective).
