Illusions of Pastoral peace
/ɪˈluːʒənz/ /ɒv/ /ˈpɑːstərəl/ /piːs/
The quiet life of the country has never appealed to me. City
/ðə/ /ˈkwaɪət/ /laɪf/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌntri/ /hæz/ /ˈnɛvər/ /əˈpiːld/ /tuː/ /miː./ /ˈsɪti/
born and city bred. I have always regarded the country as
/bɔːn/ /ænd/ /ˈsɪti//brɛd./ /aɪ/ /hæv/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /rɪˈgɑːdɪd/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌntri/ /æz/
something you look at through a train window, or something
/ˈsʌmθɪŋ/ /juː/ /lʊk/ /æt/ /θruː/ /ə/ /treɪn/ /ˈwɪndəʊ,/ /ɔː/ /ˈsʌmθɪŋ/
you occasionally visit during the weekend. Most of my
/juː/ /əˈkeɪʒnəli/ /ˈvɪzɪt/ /ˈdjʊərɪŋ/ /ðə/ /ˈwiːkˈɛnd./ /məʊst/ /ɒv/ /maɪ/
friends live in the city, yet they always go into raptures at the
/frɛndz/ /lɪv/ /ɪn/ /ðə/ /ˈsɪti,/ /jɛt/ /ðeɪ/ /ˈɔːlweɪz/ /gəʊ/ /ˈɪntuː/ /ˈræpʧəz//æt/ /ðiː/
mere mention of the country. Though they extol the virtues
/mɪə/ /ˈmɛnʃən/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈkʌntri./ /ðəʊ/ /ðeɪ//ɪksˈtəʊl//ðə/ /ˈvɜːtjuːz/
of the peaceful life, only one of them has ever gone to live in
/ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈpiːsfʊl/ /laɪf,/ /ˈəʊnli/ /wʌn/ /ɒv/ /ðɛm/ /hæz/ /ˈɛvə/ /gɒn/ /tuː/ /lɪv/ /ɪn/
the country and he was back in town within six months.
/ðə/ /ˈkʌntri/ /ænd/ /hiː/ /wɒz/ /bæk/ /ɪn/ /taʊn/ /wɪˈðɪn/ /sɪks/ /mʌnθs./
Even he still lives under the illusion that country life is
/ˈiːvən/ /hiː/ /stɪl/ /lɪvz/ /ˈʌndə/ /ði/ /ɪˈluːʒən/ /ðæt/ /ˈkʌntri/ /laɪf/ /ɪz/
somehow superior to town life. He is forever talking about
/ˈsʌmhaʊ/ /sju(ː)ˈpɪərɪə/ /tuː/ /taʊn/ /laɪf./ /hiː/ /ɪz/ /fəˈrɛvə/ /ˈtɔːkɪŋ/ /əˈbaʊt/
the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to
/ðə/ /ˈfrɛndli/ /ˈpiːpl,/ /ðə/ /kliːn/ /ˈætməsfɪə,/ /ðə/ /ˈkləʊsnɪs/ /tuː/
nature and the gentle pace of living. Nothing can be
/ˈneɪʧər/ /ænd/ /ðə/ /ˈʤɛntl/ /peɪs//ɒv/ /ˈlɪvɪŋ./ /ˈnʌθɪŋ/ /kæn/ /biː/
compared, he maintains, with the first cockcrow, the
/kəmˈpeəd,/ /hiː/ /meɪnˈteɪnz,/ /wɪð/ /ðə/ /fɜːst/ /ˈkɒkkrəʊ,/ /ðiː/
twittering of birds at dawn, thesight of the rising sun
/ˈtwɪtərɪŋ/ /ɒv/ /bɜːdz/ /æt/ /dɔːn,/ /ðə/ /saɪt/ /ɒv/ /ðə/ /ˈraɪzɪŋ/ /sʌn/
glinting on the trees and pastures. This idyllic pastoral scene
/ˈglɪntɪŋ//ɒn/ /ðə/ /triːz/ /ænd/ /ˈpɑːsʧəz./ /ðɪs//aɪˈdɪlɪk//ˈpɑːstərəl/ /siːn/
is only part of the picture.
