The Great Wave off Kanagawa by KATSUSHIKA HOKUSAI
Brian Kerr
The men in the boats asked “Who are we to go, to brave such monstrous waves, The sharp foamy claws and the emptiness of salty splash?� They were made small their industrious defiance angering waters Nature wide the sea their boats thin and they bowed Rowed the boats humble under grey sadness over-marked By courage pressed on perished and landed safely in Kanagawa.
