Though the origin of most of our words is forgotten, each word was at first a stroke of genius, and obtained currency because for the moment it symbolized the world to the first speaker and to the hearer. The etymologist finds the deadest word to have been once a brilliant picture. Language is fossilized poetry. — Emerson, The Poet

We have just finished reading "20 awesomely untranslatable words from around the world" as well as "25 words that simply don't exist in English." Sometimes, other languages capture particular ideas best.  Beautiful words.
