Welcome Back!!!! Today we will take a look the poem, "The Snow man" by Wallace Stevens 

\\n

I also forgot to mention in the episode that in most cases the word "Snowman" is one word, yet Wallace Stevens spells it "Snow Man" in the title. Take that for whatever you want it to be.

The Snow Man

\\n

\\n

One must have a mind of winter

\\n

To regard the frost and the boughs

\\n

Of the pine-trees crusted with snow;

\\n

\\n

And have been cold a long time

\\n

To behold the junipers shagged with ice,

\\n

The spruces rough in the distant glitter

\\n

\\n

Of the January sun; and not to think

\\n

Of any misery in the sound of the wind,

\\n

In the sound of a few leaves,

\\n

\\n

Which is the sound of the land

\\n

Full of the same wind

\\n

That is blowing in the same bare place

\\n

\\n

For the listener, who listens in the snow,

\\n

And, nothing himself, beholds

\\n

Nothing that is not there and the nothing that is.
