Reading The Magi | Alexandria
Read The Magi by W.B. Yeats. Reimagining ancient myths through cold-eyed disillusionment, "The Magi" flips the Christmas story into a haunting meditation on spiritual emptiness. Far from wise men finding salvation, Yeats' aging seekers are "galled and dissatisfied" - forever searching but never satisfied, even after witnessing divinity. Their restless wandering mirrors our own quest for meaning.
