William Butler Yeats' "The Magi"
from The Daily Poem · host Sean Johnson
The repetition of the word “unsatisfied” forms a set of bookends in today’s poem. Inside those bookends: earth, sky, and the riches of this world. Beyond them: “The uncontrollable mystery.” Happy reading. This is a public episode.
