by W. H. Auden
A parlour game describing one's private vision of Eden has been played, mostly in England, for the last 150 years, says Auden: Dickens played at it in Pick-wick Papers, Lewis Carroll in Alice, Wilde in The Importance of Being Earnest.
And then there is Ronald Firbank's earthly paradise.
