Pieter Bruegel

The Land of Cockaigne

The Land of Cockaigne is Luikkerland, the land of lazy and gluttonous:


Loafers and gluttons are always lying about. Farmers, soldiers and clerks live without the need to work because the fences are sausages, the roofs are made of cake, and the fowl fly roasted, ready to eat.
