Papers ignoring English cries for positive visions of the country (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

idylls

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'visions of the country' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to natural events as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'papers ignoring english cries for positive' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'papers' could be 'id' (identity papers) and 'id' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for idylls that I've seen before include "Peaceful or romantic scenes of country life" , "stories of happy innocence" , "Episodes of pastoral or romantic charm" , "Pleasant or romantic scenes from country life" , "Peaceful or romantic scenes or incidents" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
