| 520 | |a That humans have forever longed for return to paradise is axiomatic of pastoralism. While the Greek poet Theocritus is arguably the first to present Arcadia as a paradisal, pastoral place in his Idylls, by going beyond merely addressing the essential contradictions of life and attempting to resolve them in his Eclogues, Virgil advances the pastoral mode. Both works are imbued with a paradoxical sense of longing for the unattainable that has influenced much Western literature and art in the past two thousand years. Indeed, just as Virgil re-visions Theocritus, Henry David Thoreau emulates and then extends Virgil’s pastoral form in Walden. Pastoralism is seen, therefore, as an ever-adaptive perspective that continues to inform today’s artists, poets, and philosophers. By analyzing the mythopoetic aspects of pastoralism, Idylls, Eclogues, and Walden may be understood as mythologies of place that embody soul. | ||
