Cockaigne \kah-KAYN\, noun:
An imaginary land of ease and luxury.
Outside, in the dark, a wobbly patch of life upon the blue snow, the deer

winter
greenery, her modest brain-stem steeped in some dream of a Cockaigne for
herbivores.
-- John Updike, _Toward the End of Time_ (http://www.amazon.com/exec/ob
