Journey Of The Magi by T. S. Eliot

An introspective narrative voice recounts a harsh, wintertime pilgrimage undertaken to witness a strange and momentous birth; the travelers recall cold, hostile landscapes, bizarre omens, and encounters that provoke doubt, discomfort, and a sense of spiritual dislocation, concluding that the event they witnessed was both an ending and a beginning that altered their faith and left them feeling alienated from their former lives.
