Which phrase from the poem "Monet’s ‘Waterlilies’” best describes how the water lilies are portrayed in this painting?“poisons the air like fallout”“The seen, the known / dissolve”“Today as the news from Selma and Saigon”“the serene great picture that I love”

The phrase “The seen, the known / dissolve” describes the water lilies and their surroundings as blending into one another in Monet’s painting. It captures the soft, indistinct quality of the scene. “The serene great picture that I love” expresses the speaker’s admiration for the painting, rather than describing how the lilies are portrayed.
