Read the excerpt from "An Irish Airman Foresees His Death."I know that I shall meet my fate Somewhere among the clouds above; Those that I fight I do not hate Those that I guard I do not love; My country is Kiltartan Cross, My countrymen Kiltartan's poor, No likely end could bring them loss Or leave them happier than before.Read the excerpt from "Do not go gentle into that good night."Do not go gentle into that good night,Old age should burn and rave at close of day;Rage, rage against the dying of the light.Though wise men at their end know dark is right,Because their words had forked no lightning theyDo not go gentle into that good night.Good men, the last wave by, crying how brightTheir frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

It is because the airIs full of writing, because the wave is still: that nothingWill harm these frail strangers,That high over Fuji in an earthcolored sky the fingersWill not fall; and the blue menLean on the sea like snow, and the wave like a mountain leansAgainst the sky.In the painter's seaAll fishermen are safe. All anger bends under his unity.But the innocent bystander, he merely'Walks round a corner, thinking of nothing': hiddenBehind a screen we hear his cry.He stands half in and half out of the world; he is the men,But he cannot see below FujiThe shore the color of sky; he is the wave, he stretchesHis claws against strangers.

Read the excerpt from "Hokusai's The Great Wave.”So The Great Wave, far from being the quintessence of Japan, is a hybrid work, a fusion of European materials and conventions with a Japanese sensibility. No wonder this image has been so loved in Europe: it is an exotic relative, not a complete stranger.It also, I think, shows a peculiarly Japanese ambivalence. As a viewer, you have no place to stand, no footing. You too must be in a boat, under the Great Wave, and in danger. The dangerous sea over which European things and ideas travelled has, however, been drawn with a profound ambiguity.
