Give them my best.
But remember.
1. Romanticism and modernism share some themes! BOTH
preach suspicion of authority, for example, and
respect for diversity/eccentricity. This harkens back
to when they were allies against monarchy, before they
turned on each other. These themes fill much
music/art/cinema.
2. We are all deeply romantic. The trick is to let
modernism be in charge of POLICY. We can then try to
have a reasonable, progressive, pragmatic
civilization...
... that then lets us all hoot and holler and do
romantic things in our free time. Or in the arts.
