"A cold coming we had of it, / Just the worst time of the year / For a journey, and such a long journey ..." TS Eliot's poem for Epiphany, "Journey of the Magi", is one of his most popular poems. Yet it is deceptively complex and, as Peggy Reynolds discovers, takes us on our own journey to somewhere very far removed from the simple certainties of the Three Wise Men at the manger.

Thank you. I am just beginning to listen to TS Eliot. I knew of him from being a friend of JRR Tolkien and from the Narnia series but had not listened to any other of his works.
Thanks, Rick. I'm ready for this.
