Journey of the Magi

By T.S. Eliot


Journey of the Magi

We all agree that the poem is about the Christ child. Some of us in the class believe that there is a deeper meaning then the Magi just going to see the Christ child but that also that he realizes that there is more to this child then meets the eye. Personally I believe that the Magi realizes that this child will die for the worlds sins. Also that the will be or has been another death, one within himself just by seeing this child.

The Waste Land

By T.S. Eliot


The Waste Land

The Waste Land is a very difficult poem to read. Eliot alluseds to other works of literature. To fully understand this poem you must either read those works of literature or read the footnotes.
