HAL-see-on

Was driving me crazy – thank you! And thank you Pompeius Pomponius for answering a question I didn’t know I had – what the heck is a Halcyon?
A Halcyon is an idyllic period of great peace.
One might say a “Golden Age” 😉
A nice example of usage, from the Bleach manga no less, “Goodbye Halcyon Days”
