【正确答案】正确答案:There are 25 nouns in the poem, with 18 concrete nouns and 4 abstract nouns in the first four stanza, only 2 concrete nouns and 1 abstract noun in the last stanza. The intentional change in the use of nouns suggests a transition from a relatively objective description of a winter scene to a relatively emotional elevation. We, with the "one" of the poem, begin by watching the winter scene while in our mind the connotations of misery and cold brought forth by the scene are stirring. But gradually, almost imperceptibly, we are divested of whatever it is that distinguishes us from the snow man. We become the snow man, and we see the winter world through his eyes of coal, and we know the cold without the thoughts of human discomfort. Then, we see all the exact things, as the definite article suggests. At that point when we sees the winter scene reduced to absolute fact, as the object not of the mind, but of the perfect perceptual eye that sees "nothing that is not there," then the scene, devoid of its imaginative correspondences, has become "the nothing that is." With it, Stevens dramatizes the action of a mind as it becomes one with the scene it perceives, and at that instant, the mind having ceased to bring something of itself to the scene, the scene then ceases to exist fully.
