I wish I knew more about linguistics/semantics across cultures and time. From I think I know, though, I don't think that philosophical/deeply intellectual expression has ever been a strong point of English.
Gaelic really creates poetry in every sentence. I'd really love to learn it some day.
Other french trivia that I learned on Monday: graveur, the word for an artist who does engravings, has also become the term (or at least a term) for cd burner. :-)
