Which excerpt from the poem "the great wave: hokusai" best supports the conclusion that the artist intended the wave to feel threatening? it is because the sea is blue, because fuji is blue, because the bent blue men have white faces, like the snow on fuji, like the crest of the wave in the sky the color of their boats. it is because the air is full of writing, because the wave is still: that nothing will harm these frail strangers, that high over fuji in an earthcolored sky the fingers will not fall in the painter's sea all fishermen are safe. all anger bends under his unity. but the innocent bystander, he merely 'walks round a corner, thinking of nothing': hidden he stands half in and half out of the world; he is the men, but he cannot see below fuji the shore the color of sky; he is the wave, he stretches his claws against strangers.
