And while it was easy to see Tangier's many appeals — the warm hospitality, the delicious food, the stunning desert-by-the-sea landscape — I couldn't help but feel jealous of those who had been able to enjoy that idyll without being followed (quite literally) by harassment and verbal degradation.

College, in the eyes of this book, is a fairy land, an idyll where time stops and visitors glut themselves on fairy intoxicants: Janet more than once compares the effects of great literature to the effects of alcohol or drugs, because Janet is a little bit insufferable that way.

In the waterfront idyll "Ferus" (1963), for instance, a tall, red cylinder seems almost to lift an I-beam-shaped dance partner above its head; and the bright yellow "Cumbria" (1966-67), which was installed in Battery Park City as part of the Art in Public Places program, resembles a ski launch.

Far less, however, is known about artists like Kathleen Taylor Upper, whose lithographs on paper depict equally surreal and sometimes unsettling imagery of the enigmatic and grotesque, or Boza Hessova, whose 1935 painting "Rising and Vanishing Hollywood" captures the growing (and still continuing) tension between the city's suburban idyll and urban density.

The Keyeses say that if Foxconn moves in next door, they are moving out, leaving the 20-acre farm they bought in 2003 for its rural idyll: the pond that attracts egrets and herons, the towering wooden barn where they keep their horses and the modest house built when Abraham Lincoln was president.

When even Antonio Marras, the champion of collage, of fantasy conjured from roses and lace and, this season, the coin-trimmed story of Adèle Hugo, combines pinstripes with his silvered appliqués, and Brunello Cucinelli, he of the Tuscan countryside idyll, tosses in some tailored herringbones refracting their own light, you know something is in the air.

In The Machine in the Garden: Technology and the Pastoral Ideal in America, the cultural historian Leo Marx explores the philosophical tension between colonists' visions of America as paradise regained — the Edenic idyll familiar from Edward Hicks's folk painting, "Peaceable Kingdom" (ca 1833) — and the America of the Technological Sublime, a humming dynamo of technological progress and gadget worship.

Passenger cruise ships and emerald-green palm fronds at the Paseo del Parque along the bay evoked for me a tropical idyll, and so did evenings around the buzzing streets and paths around the Marques de Lario entrance to the casco antiguo, where I stopped late in the evening at an outdoor bar whose name I cannot remember.

So they commissioned him to create a 500-square-foot idyll suspended amid a copse of silvery eastern white pines and towering lichen-wrapped oaks at the edge of their pond, a five-minute walk — through a column of fragrant pear, apple and cherry trees — from their main weekend home, a five-bedroom house built in 1996 from recycled concrete blocks.

The New York Philharmonic's artist in residence gives a recital that provides an insight into how this superb musician's mind works: There's straight down-the-line core repertoire, notably Beethoven's "Tempest" Sonata and late Schubert, but also repertoire that few other pianists shine a light on, including Nielsen, several short pieces by Sibelius and "Idyll and Abyss," by Jörg Widmann.

But if you live in a vibrant, growing area that's creating jobs, where people want to move and live, and you are fighting that growth by advocating for policies that constrain it — because you love your view and your on-street parking, because of the "character of the neighborhood," because you don't want "those people" coming to your neighborhood on transit, because you've lucked into suburban idyll with all the urban amenities, because your home value rises the more housing supply constricts, because you've been led to believe that capping housing supply counteracts rather than accelerates gentrification — then no, sorry, you are not a climate hawk.
