Words to the Wise: Bucolic
Archives: Word to the Wise
“Bucolic” (byoo-KOL-ik) – from the Greek for cowherd – refers to an idealized rural life.
Example (as used by Scott Eyman in a Palm Beach Post review of The Book of William by Paul Collins): “Of the original press run of 750, 230 copies of [Shakespeare's First Folio] are known to exist. Owners range from a Microsoft millionaire, [Japanese] industrialists, and, oddly, a bucolic Irish college.”
