I think through this poem Eliot emphasizes the essential cycle of birth &
rebirth where neither the thought nor the action is lost with the death.
They are restored to be resumed.
The poem is above admiration.

journey of the magi is based upon a biblical story told in
Mathew,chap2,verses 1-12 magi is the plural from the classical word magus a
wise men from the east travel to Bathelem to behold the baby jesus, that
the three wise men from the east were kings is alater tradition the speaker
in the poem is one of the magi or wise men remembering his journey in olg
age the initial five lines are a quotation from a sermon preached by Bishop
Lancelot Andrews on chrismas day 1622 . These lines build up a
dispassionate rendering of the journey of the magi with the birth of the
christ , bad weather during the dead of the winter and a difficult long
journey contenue with reapeted later later also in the poem the camels
refused to move on being injured THe magi sometimes regretted undertaking
such a difficult journey . they left their warm homes for a freezing zone.
the pleasure of thier palaces were replaced by trials and problems.the
camel men also revolted in want of facilities for pleasure and comfort ..
Hostle towns, dirty village , costly inns made a hard time of it . passing
thought doubt and anguish the magi also thought of it as there fully
THIS IS AN analysis of the first part of the poem

jouney of the magi is a wonderful as well as a hearttouching poem....even
though it is hard 2 understand it is quite easier when understood....i
wonder how the poet could bring out meaningful similies for the biblical
incidents ,so succesfully...the sucess of the poet lies in bringing out
words which really posess entirely different meaning from what they seem to
be..

T S Eliot is a poet with great wealth of language and philosophy. That is
why the poem cannot be understood after reading it once. I will advise
readers to go over it as much as possible.

I believe it is a poem to read over and over again. It is full of
picturesque imagries that sends one on mental torment.

Has anyone read this poem in reverse order, starting with the last line and
proceeding back to the first? It seems to flow together just as easily
backwards as forwards. I thought this was definitely a unique way to write
a poem, and it shows another element to the “journey” Eliot describes.

this poem could be analysed as the endurance of christains give them
success atlast.
