Afternoon From the Hill
 
 
This is an "ars incarnata" fest in which divers poetical-like quarks summon enough energy to instantiate a PROTON, named Edna St. Vincent-MIllay. They gather on a hill above their town. Together a Celestial Town Hall is formed. From top of the hill, you can see it all.
Even, your own home. Image is generated by GPT 5, Tree if life by Nefesh Mountain Band

Afternoon on a Hill
by Edna St. Vincent Millay
 
1892 -- 1950 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!

Its over. The sex, political and otherwise, was disgusting. The name is forever banned in the Cafe. Once spoken, the customer is escorted over the back porch, whose bottom, is currently Unknown.Our food has been subjected to advanced AI programming. After consumption, any of the above poison will be completely eliminated at the cellular and nuclear levels. You will feel instantly better -- if there is any thing left. Note the image you see is what OpenAI's ChatGPT5 sees when it reads Yogi Berra.

Evening
by Rainer Maria Rilke
1875 -- 1926
The bleak fields are asleep, My heart alone wakes; The evening in the harbour Down his red sails takes.
Night, guardian of dreams, Now wanders through the land; The moon, a lily white, Blossoms within her hand.

Noon Song
by Henry Van Dyke
 
There are songs for the morning and songs for the night, For sunrise and sunset, the stars and the moon; But who will give praise to the fulness of light, And sing us a song of the glory of noon?      Oh, the high noon, the clear noon,          The noon with golden crest;     When the blue sky burns, and the great sun turns         With his face to the way of the west!
How swiftly he rose in the dawn of his strength; How slowly he crept as the morning wore by; Ah, steep was the climbing that led him at length To the height of his throne in the wide summer sky.     Oh, the long toil, the slow toil,         The toil that may not rest,     Till the sun looks down from his journey's crown,         To the wonderful way of the west!
Then a quietness falls over meadow and hill, The wings of the wind in the forest are furled, The river runs softly, the birds are all still, The workers are resting all over the world.     Oh, the good hour, the kind hour,         The hour that calms the breast!     Little inn half-way on the road of the day,         Where it follows the turn to the west!
There's a plentiful feast in the maple-tree shade, The lilt of a song to an old-fashioned tune, The talk of a friend, or the kiss of a maid, To sweeten the cup that we drink to the noon.     Oh, the deep noon, the full noon,         Of all the day the best!     When the blue sky burns, and the great sun turns         To his home by the way of the west.
