Those spelling errors are pretty awful. I can't fix it any longer sadly, but thanks for catching them. I need to proof better online. I also appreciate the quibbles: it makes for better conversation. As for the Magi, I think I just had that title wrong. I am not enough of a Jedi fan for that to be it (unconsciously maybe...). As you can see from the spelling, I made the list too quickly and without checking things. But I think I've always had that title wrong. Here's my real guess: when I first studied that poem, our entire focus was on the finale (when the magi return home "no longer at ease."). So I guess that's what stuck in my head. I picked the Apology over the Republic because I prefer Plato in his Socratic phase to him in his Platonic phase. Also, the Apology is about 20 odd pages, while the Republic is many hundred. I think The Waste Land is completely overrated, but love Eliot's other poetry.
