the Hill

My roomate and I had a trip with her mim to Roehiland. There had a lot of hills. We went to there to play water in the ocean every day. We usually walked down by the road to the short cliff. It has a lot of flowers on the hill, and we could go across the hill to jump into the ocean. The sky of the picture was so blue and beautiful all the time. And you can see many ships set on the water. The wind was very huge on the water. And some people were fishing on the hill. I could hear their yelling. Walked back to the road, I saw so many grasshoppers on the ground and the road side. They jumped high, almost hit you. Touch the straws, they felt rough and water lack. It fely very itch when we walked by. We couln't go down to the undergrowth, because there was too dangerous. Look at the ocean, there's another land in front of the hill. Maybe I will go to there and take a lot of pictures.

On the hill

I was on the hill and sitting on the peat for a brief time. At there I saw thousands upon thousands flowers and a pure sky with a spotless cloud, I am always very exhilarating to hang out this area, because I am able to drop off all the depressed mind behind me. It brought so much fun things to my real life and make me to want to enjoy the nature. I saw the cliffs, in the meanwhile the wind bow down the grass with the sunset, I could not depict it how pretty it actually be with the general words, just imagined it same as a sweet dream. When the sun got down from the west gradually, I was on the way to be back. And expected here in the other days.

Afternoon on the hill.

I think this picture is similar to the image of the poem. The hill in the picture looks peaceful and quiet. When I saw this picture, I imagined if i was in this situation. It's really beautiful. I can lie on the hill and have my lunch. I don't worry about anything. It's really vast when I look up the sky. Everything is under the sunshine. I enjoy it by myself.

Poem Opinion

This photo is the exact things I was looking for.
I can see clear and beautiful sky view. There are lots of flowers and house.

1. I will be the gladdest thing ‘Under the sun!’
I will touch a hundred flowers And not pick one.

This photo looks really bright and we can see grasses are shining,
because of sun.
This photo has beautiful view with sky and flowers on the ground.
And we can see no one touch and no one mass up flowers.

2. I will look at cliffs and clouds with quiet eyes,
Watch the wind blow down the grass, And the grass rise.

This photo has wonderful sky so lots of clouds. Also, many kinds of clouds. And no one touching or massing. Grasses are shining and grasses are moving by winds directions.

3. And when light begin to show Up from town, I will mark which must be mine, And then start down.

This photo looks beautiful and showing nature’s beauty. I hope not, but now writer is trying to walk to this beautiful environment.

wind mill on the hill(Oscar Peterson)

I chose this picture because I like the wind mill on the hill and it's beautiful. In addition, sky is dark so it looks like afternoon. But, above all, I chose this picture because this is the one of the album cover of Oscar Peterson, my favorite Jazz Pianist.

This picture was really beautifull. A small island in the big India ocean, look like a small person in the whole life. This picture mean is: No matter how big of the world, if you are, you always!
There was a bule sky and azure water. People enjoy the sunshine and lifetime. It was amazing!
Athough it just picture,but significance is life.

Afternoon on a hill

I think this picture is similar to the image of the poem. The hill in the picture looks peaceful and quiet.

Beautiful words on wonderful place

It seems this is the best picture to describe the main theme of the poem. Hundreds of flowers showed their beauty under the sunshine. The grass slowly fell down and then rose up. Life always changes, just like the grass does not always stay at rest. The hill is not flat as well as the human life is not easy. Almost the color of the theme was green. It represented the hope, the wish for a better life.

Afternoon on a Hill-my dream

“Afternoon on a Hill” by Edna St. Vincent Millay

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowersAnd not pick one.

I will look at cliffs and cloudsWith quiet eyes,
Watch the wind bow down the grass, and the grass rise.

And when lights begin to showup from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,

And then start down!

*************************************


After I read this poem, I imagined the beautiful hill as I lie on the ground and watched the clouds with thousands of beautiful flowers. I would go to the hill after I ate lunch on the weekend, so I don't have to worried about anything. The clouds seem like cotton candy to me for some reason. I thought this picture is the best picture to describe this poem. If I would be in this completely beautiful situation, I would just thinking about my life and I would make a wish to the Sky. Thinking about myself and the future. I would never want to leave from the hill and I would have a lots and lots of fabulous time there.

My version

I am a photographer.
Late summer vacation I went back home.It is so good to be home,but very easy to get bored.Luckyly there are some hills around my house.
On a sunny day,I got up late.My parents went to work.After lunch,I decieded to cilmbe the hill and took some pictures.
When I reached climbed up a small hill,I found a place that explored under sunlight.It is so warm to stay under the sun.I took off my camera and choosed some beatiful place to take photos.The grass on the hill is long and full of energy.It followed the rhythm of the wind going up and down.From the hill I could look broadly down to the hill to the town where I live.I took the picture of the land and sky,of the grass and clouds,of the curves of cillfs and the slopes of hills.As the dusk came,every version become dark,I put off my camera, sat down on the soft grass and looking forward to the peaceful enviroment.Nothing noisy except the noise of nature.
I went down to my house as I saw the sparkle light from it.All the houses light from the dark is like the stars on the sky.
I returned home with a fulfilled happiness.

I will be the gladdest thing under the sun

And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!

This is the exact house what I imagined when I was reading the poem. The house is fabulous even though it's little bit small and old. If the house was mine, I'd very glad when lights begin to show up and look down the house on the hill. I will be the gladdest thing under the sun.

Stepping on the top of the hill, trying to locate my house under the sunshine in the afternoon. I am not really sure if I have found my house or not, but it doesn't really matter. Heart was drunk by this abstract form.

The Gust Of Wind

By Pierre Auguste Renoir

This is one of my favorite paintings by Renoir.

When I read the first part of the poem, it reminded me this painting because the imaginary place in the poem seemed so much like the place in this painting, except for that the poet mentioned about flowers. I think the both places feel like a quiet little hill by the house, where sometimes wind blows, and filled with grasses and flowers.

Under the sun!

I will touch a hundred flowers

I will look at cliffs and clouds

With quiet eyes,

Watch the wind bow down the grass,

And the grass rise.

And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down

-------------------------------------------------------------------

I read the poem and wanted to put many related picture of it.
So I tried to find pictures that looks really same as the lines and described the situation of speaker.

First picture has a sun and the lines says the speaker wants to be a gladdest thing under the sun.
In second picture has tons of beautiful flowers, and it says about thousand of flowers.
Then, in third one has a girl sitting on the cliff and look at clouds peacefully.
In fourth picture has grass on it, and it talks about grass bow down and rise by wind
Finally, in the last picture, it has small town with some lights on and the speaker tell us
when the lights show up on the town, she should go back to the town.

I think those pictures are really goes with it.

Explanation : The poet can see his house on the hill, and he walks down to the house. I think this picture seems that person who is in the high place see the house.

Explanation: In the poem, the poet says, "I will look at cliffs and clouds with quiet eyes."

Man of this picture is on the cliffs and he watch the scenery of cliff and clouds.

Explanation : In the poem, the poet said that there are hundreds of flowers on the hill. And the poet says, "I will be the gladdest thing under the sun!" and above picture has lots of flowers under the sunshine.
