An idyll is a short poem, descriptive of rustic life, written in the style of Theocritus's short pastoral poems, the Idylls. Later imitators included the Roman poets Virgil and Catullus, and the English poet Alfred, Lord Tennyson.
when speaking of idylls, one is dealing with a term used most often in romanticism and which has lost its credibility in the present day.
in order to understand what comprises an idyll we must take a closer look at the way the word idyll is used and when a situation is accepted to be idyllic.
the internal process, which accompanies an idyll, is bound to be different for the viewer of caspar david friedrichÕs moor landscape, and for the person who is actually lost in such a landscape.
