Read the lines from robert hayden’s poem "monet’s ‘waterlilies,’” and then look at the painting water lilies by claude monet.

today as the news from selma and saigon
poisons the air like fallout,
i come again to see
the serene, great picture that i love.

claude monet's painting, water lilies. green lily pads with bright flowers rest on a dark pond with the sky and trees reflecting off the water's surface.

what does the poem include that the artwork does not?

a sense of peace or comfort
an allusion to conflict
a chaotic viewpoint
a sense of movement or fluidity

an allusion to conflict

Explanation:

Selma, from this poem, refers to the town Selma, Alabama, where the African-American civil rights movement started in 1960s.

Saigon, frim the same line in the poem, refers to the Vietnam War.

We could say that the author of the poem, touched, saddened or even shocked by these events seeks peace, calm and tranquillity that Monet's painting gives him.

So, the news from Selma and Saigon suggest ongoing conflicts that pollute the air of peaceful everyday life.

On the other hand, Monet's painting shows no conflict; it radiates peaceful and relaxing energy, while the painter, with his fast and chaotic brush movements, conveys the feeling of constant moving of the water.
