Description:
Part of portfolio of 26 lithographs and accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson.
Text from accompanying book by Lawrance Thompson, 23: The Last Thrust:

"...Towards thee I roll,
thou all-destroying but unconquering whale;
to the last I grapple with thee;
from hell's heart I stab at thee;
for hate's sake
I spit my last breath at thee.
Sink all coffins and all hearses
to one common pool!
and since neither can be mine,
let me then tow to pieces,
while still chasing thee,
though tied to thee,
thou damned whale!
Thus, I give up
the spear!"
