Abstract
The Emperor Of Ice Cream is one of the most difficult poems by Wallace Stevens.Its theme expresses the complicated paradox about life or death and soul or reality.Life’s beauty or temporariness and death’s cruelty or numbness appear in the image of ice cream.With the ironical sense,the verse establishes the authority of the emperor of temporal society.
