Recently I expressed to someone that I thought they were sublime.  Little did I know how well the term captures my experience.    

Sublime="of such excellence, grandeur, or beauty as to inspire great admiration or awe." (Oxford American Dictionary)  

If you want to experience the sublime, try Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy.  According to Wikipedia, this is a musical interpretation of a poem by Paul Verlaine. The poem is indeed...well, you know...that word, but I prefer music.  Try this album if you want a good introduction to Debussy.
