Reading A Song for Simeon | Alexandria
Read A Song for Simeon by T.S. Eliot. Weaving ancient prophecy with modern doubt, Eliot's icon confronts our deepest fears about faith and mortality. Through Simeon's eyes, we glimpse how waiting itself becomes sacred - a radical notion in our instant-gratification culture. The poem daringly suggests that spiritual fulfillment comes not from answers, but from embracing uncertainty.
