pastoral

"Some readers cannot enjoy the shepherds
because they know (or they say they know)
that real country people are not more happy
or more virtuous than any one else;
but it would be tedious here to explain to them
the many causes (reasons too)
that have led humanity to symbolize
by rural scenes and occupations
a region in the mind which does exist
and which should be visited often."
- C. S. Lewis
