Word of the Day

Cockaigne \kah-KAYN\, noun: An imaginary land of ease and luxury.
Eg1:
Outside, in the dark, a wobbly patch of life upon the blue snow,
the deer perhaps browsed, her soft blob of a nose
rapturously sunk in the chilly winter greenery,
her modest brain-stem steeped in some dream of a Cockaigne for herbivores.

Eg2:
Toward the End of Time - Everyone was seeking renewal, a golden century, a Cockaigne of the spirit. --Umberto Eco, [2]Foucault's Pendulum.
