Analysis of The Magi by WB Yeats
The Wise Men, According to Yeats
Embed:
Although no other story is more widely known than the life of Jesus, no other story from any other religion has caused more debate to arise. In The Magi, Yeats focuses on the birth and death of Jesus’ life. Written in 1914, The Magi follows the journey of the “unsatisfied ones” and their unrequited search for meaning in the “uncontrollable mystery on the bestial floor.” Yeats uses the wise men (the “unsatisfied ones”) to allude to his belief that mankind has yet to discover meaning and fulfillment in Jesus’ time on earth.
