Life is a puzzle which everyone tries to figure out in his or her own way. Thus, everyone has his or her unique philosophy of life. Literary works, such as “On Hearing a Symphony of Beethoven” by Edna St. Vincent Millay and “The Journey of the Magi” by T. S. Eliot, often suggest the writers’ particular philosophies of life. Accordingly, this essay will foc
us on the similarities and differences of the philosophies of life implied in the two poems.
In regard to similarities, first of all, both works assume the emingly eternal incompatibility between the ideal and reality in life. For instance, in the first poem, “On Hearing a Symphony of Beethoven,” the ideal of “excellence and peace” in the “sweet sounds” clashes with the real world that teems with “the spiteful and the stingy and the rude”(Millay). Similarly, in the cond poem, “The Journey of the Magi”, problems like harsh weather, “refractory” camels and hostile villages collide with what the Magi have expected (Eliot). Despite the frustrating conflict between the ideal and reality, the protagonists in both poems adhere to their beliefs. In the first poem, to fight against the overwhelmingly “spiteful” reality, the speaker builds up a “rampart” of music and would cling to her strong belief in the music’s “excellence and peace” until death Likewi, the magi hold to their belief in Christianity firmly however unfavorable the environment is. They never regret having made the journey.
