Could someone please help me interpret the following poem? I tried to understand it but found it difficult. Thx.
The Snow Man By Wallace Stevens
One must have a mind of winter
To regard the frost and the boughs
Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;
And have been cold a long time
To behold the junipers shagged with ice,
The spruces rough in the distant glitter
Of the January sun; and not to think
Of any misery in the sound of the wind,
In the sound of a few leaves,
Which is the sound of the land
Full of the same wind
That is blowing in the same bare place
For the listener, who listens in the snow,
And, nothing himself, beholds
Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.

Well, pumpkin, you asked this question, what four times, and only once have you had any responses.
Those responses were, however, quite good, you should seriously consider them.
I was going to say "it must really stink to be a snowman" but hey, that's just me! ;)
