boskage

First in poetry and then in painting, the glimmering, closed Theocritean landscape where gods and shepherds pursue nymphs and shepherdesses amid the boskage was reconstructed.

From Time Magazine Archive

The roses were in bloom, two nightingales soliloquized in the boskage, a cuckoo was just going out of tune among the lime trees.

From "Brave New World" by Aldous Huxley

And now, from brake and thicket, from dewy mysteries of green boskage burst forth the sweet, glad chorus of bird-song, full throated, passionate of joy.

From The Geste of Duke Jocelyn by Farnol, Jeffery

Or this:—   She lock'd her lips: she left me where I stood:   "Glory to God," she sang, and past afar,   Thridding the sombre boskage of the wood,   Toward the morning-star.

From The Early Poems of Alfred Lord Tennyson by Collins, John Churton

Will your Majesty be pleased to descend to the lower boskage?
