Katsushika Hokusai's Great Wave Off Kanagawa
Upon the shore the waves reside
not by the inland dale

(and not because Sea's satisfied:
Because at Th'Utmost sands prevail).

So too with men, ever trying their best
to leave the lives that they abide

(building Hope's barges in th'breast
& fueling them with Pride)

Seurat's Le Port de Gravelines
