When I was read to the poem of the "Afternoon on a hill"
I thought that is what is fit the picture to about this poem.
So I choose this picture.
And I will make poem in situation of picture that is

Like this poem that is

<"Afternoon on a hill" >

-I WILL be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
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!
(Edna St. Vincent Millay)


Like this,


I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun in the beach!
I will touch a sky and hundred Palm tree.
And not pick one.
And I will look at cliffs and cloud
With quiet eyes,
Listen to the nature sound,
As like, sound of beach and wind.
And when lights begin to show
Up from the town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down!
(Achel, Lee)

This picture shows one part of the Universe and it is an extremely small one. This place or view of the space make me feel a deeply and comfortable perspective of natural things. These feelings are related from de poem "Afternoon on a Hill" by Edna St. Vicent Millay, because the way that the poem explains the Hill and the View as beautiful things it has the same meaning for this picture. The most powerful feeling from myself, it is the contrast of colors that makes the picture an unique and special place to admire with a great poem view.

Australian landscape

This picture is about Australian landscape at afternoon, and it`s really giving me the felling of the fall and the afternoon or maybe dusk. I can feel the wind, and the grass move with the wind. It`s kind of a dreary scenery.

This is a very beautiful view. This is a hill beside Mississippi river. I think it is afternoon, and the sun goes down. Every time I see this picture I feel very comfortable.
The forest is very beautiful and I love the green of summer. The red sun is telling us, this is the end of the day, we need review all the things we have done today. I love afternoon's sun and the Hill.

Asal Mahale village, near Caspian Sea misty forest of Dohezar, the location of the place in this photo. I think this photo absolutely showed the meaning of the poem: in the afternoon, the author sit on the village, she is looking at her house, and tyring to find her house by the light.
There is a lonely mood on my brain after I read the poem, sound like the poet lost her way to home. The photographer of this image brought this emotional state. That is why I chose this image.

I chose this photo because it is a place where I would like to be and which is what the Poet Edna St. Vicent Millay wanted to express in her poem “Afternoon on a Hill”. This an amazing picture that makes me feel as in the poem says “I would be the gladest thing under the sun!”, exept that I would be the gladest thing under many suns. I will not touch flowers, I will not waych the wind or grass, and not even the town, however I will feel as the most tremendously and special person to be in a place where nohuman has been before, in fact, I will be amazed to appreciate the magestic universe which will never end.

The photographer Tim Porter has taken a nice shot of a hill from San Francisco.
It shares a very strong similarity to the one which is in the poem.
It cheered me by the loveliness of its sunshine, the balminess of the air, the singing birds...
The leaves glowed in the sunshine, which is gorgeous
Anyway I’m impressed with this classy photo

Afternoon on a Hill

Edna St. Vincent Millay

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

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

And when lights begin to show
Up from town,
I will mark which must be mine,
And then start down.
***********************************
When I saw this picture, I was just fall into this image.
This picture makes me imagine that I am on the hill
and I am lying down on the hill.
The sun light gives hope to the house, people who are in this house,
will have feeling of euphoria
and deep silence reigned into the house.
Shadow from the sun makes me relaxed.
I am blinking through the sun.
At the same time, I am trace back a vague memory.
I traveled in southern America
and i stay one night just look like this house.
It was calm and carefree.
That's why I pick this picture, The poem
and this picture are connected by my memory.
Afternoon on a Hill
Edna St. vincent Millay





I will be the gladdest thing
Under the sun!
-I think, this image is the best image for this part of the poem.
The flowers look like the gladdest thing. Because they are
very shiny under the sun and feel like warm and relax.

I will touch a hundred flowers
And not pick one.
-When i see this image, I feel like i can touch a hundred flowers
in this image. The flowers are really beautiful and
match with this poem very well.




I will look at cliffs and clouds
with quiet eyes,

-If i am in this image, i might be close my eyes and
try to feel in my mind.
The cliffs and clouds make me feel quiet and comfortable.



Watch the wind blow down the grass,
And the grass rise.

And then start down.

This picture is the best image of the poem after I read it. The sky is so bright and clear. When I look up, it makes me feel really positive. There are hundred of flowers that are blooming under the sunshine; it looks lively and sprightly. The grass is green and extends to no end. The whole picture looks really serene and graceful.

There are hundreds of trees around me. I feel like I am in paradise. There are hundreds of flowers. It's looks like an ocean of flowers and it's shinning. I can touch the air and it makes me comfortable. I can hear the birds singing from the trees. I can see flowers dancing around me.They are many types of flowers and they all are different colors. I see shades of red, blue and purple. It is so beautiful. It makes me want to cry.

I am siting on the beautiful afternoon hill and looking around.Wind is blowing down the grass.
I am feeling free, and I don't have to do anything here. Everything looks fresh. I try to lie down ond look over the sky. I see the cloud over the cliff.
The sun is getting lower and lower and I look down the hill. The view from top of the hill; it makes me feel nostalgic.

When the afternoon coming,
I knew the half already pass.
Time always fast.
Sun is going down and he bring the dusk coming.
I feel the wind blowing with her soft singing.
Grass up and down .
Flowers are close the eyes and ready for next day's morning sunshine.
Darkness covers the hill.
I can not see anything but the light from home.
Stars shows with the light form feet of the hill,
just like dream please.
I want stay, i just need a quite please to stay.
I want do nothing but stay on the little hill for now.
Stay with the ground and the sky.

Afternoon on a Hill
It is almost dawn, and the day is almost gone.
I close my eyes and feel the wind blows.
I am standing on the hill without any fear or anxiety.
I am the only one who standing here,
and I am the only gladdest one in this time, and this place.
The sky is turning in red and pink,
and it dyed my eyes in its color.
I will be the gladdest person under the sun.
