[23:16:27] <flag> when i made the post i was going more for feats of syntactical prowess and so on

[23:16:46] <flag> the best combination of deep meaning and lyrical beauty

I wrote this on the hubski IRC about thirty seconds before I saw your post. Perfect answer as far as I'm concerned. That's a beautifully constructed sentence and also one of the most important ever written.
