In that vein, a somewhat anglocentric view of the world is betrayed when Jones laments that Keats was not rich enough to visit Greece and see the marbles, while not seeming all that concerned with the millions of people – poets among them, I’m sure – from Greece, or anywhere else for that matter, who will never be able to afford to “expand their horizons” by travelling to the world museum, which just happens to be in London. gay ακτιβιστές κυκλοφόρησαν φυλλάδια, απαιτώντας μια μαζική «συγκέντρωση για την ομοφυλοφιλική απελευθέρωση».
