johnnyo, thanks for the references to modern culture. In exchange, I offer Yeats’ The Great Day.
David Solway, my previous comment remarked, wrt the American scene, that the Right also designs Heavenly Cities. In the UK Margaret Thatcher’s politics has been displaced by that of David Cameron, who calls himself a Conservative. (The first photo I ever saw of Cameron showed him in impeccably clean stonewashed jeans, kneeling to plant a planet-saving tree. What I’ve learned thereafter reinforces that unfavorable first impression.) I suspect that other, similar examples could be found.
