Bucolic Gold

Fisherstreet, Doolin, Co.Clare

Bucolic refers to an ideal country life that many yearn for.
If your parents wanted to raise you in a bucolic environment, you could find yourself living 45 minutes away from the nearest movie theater or person your own age.
You wouldn’t know it to look at it, but bucolic is a distant relation of cow, and all bucolic’s meanings can be connected to the bovine creature.
Bucolic ultimately comes from the Greek boukolos, cowherd or herdsman.
A bucolic could be a short poem about pastoral (cow) life or a country person, who is stereotyped as a cowherd.
Used as an adjective, bucolic can refer to an idealized rural life (think life with cows) or to herdsmen (more cows).
