Which excerpt from the poem "the great wave: hokusai" best supports the conclusion that the artist intended the wave to feel threatening?
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

'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.
