The image in the literary works is presented to the readers by means of an indirect way and an imaginative process.

文学作品的形象是通过间接的方式，通过想象的过程呈现给读者的。

We may distinguish between two types of imaginative process: the one starts with the word and arrives at the visual image and the one starts with the visual image and arrives at its verbal expression.

我们可以区别两种想象的过程：一种开始于词语而抵达可视的形象，一种开始于可视的形象而抵达语言的表达。

我们已经对于,那棵已然吸引了我们大量注意力的挪威松木，及和之相比的长矛的大小浮想联翩了，我们意识到撒旦和他的长矛甚至比松木还要广大无边。
