If when you hear the phrase eat-in kitchen you think a) yeah right, or b) does standing next to my countertop count? , then to you I say this: consider the wall-mounted drop leaf table.
Pastoral poetry is a genre that typically relates to country/rural life and often depicts the lives of shepherds. This sort of poetry describes the simple and pure lives of the shepherds, along with the notion that they are free from the corruption of life in the city.
In this convention the purity and simplicity of shepherd life is contrasted with the corruption and artificiality of the court or the city. The pastoral is found in poetry, drama, and fiction, and many subjects, such as love, death, religion, and politics, have been presented in pastoral settings. In music, the pastorale is a piece imitating the simple music of shepherds.
