c2.  The land of Cockayne

There is a place
Where the shade-trees
Are only for shade
And on the ground
Are abundantly found
Gems of the finest
Emerald and jade.

No judgement is made
For there is no-one to blame.
Where is the place
I cannot give name?

There is a place
Where transportation is a matter of ease.
Those residing there
May teleport anywhere they please.

Where may exist
Any uncommon architectural design?
Yet never any boundaries
or any such line.

The answer is the title
And within this clue:
It is within an aethereal factor
Necessary to understand these lines.
The place I cannot give name . . .
Exists only in one's own mind.
