The Sublime and The Sunrise of the New Year

Sunrise always represents the hope and the future. The human being lives as the sun rising. As the theme in the Romantic Period, poet, and artist using art and poem to express their love of life, the hope of future. Sunrise was also the symbol of hope in many works.

I am a person who loves nature, and life. When 2017 comes, my girlfriend and I decided to welcome the first sunrise of 2017. We drove down to Stanley Island at the early morning on Jan. 1st, 2017. At 6:30 in the morning we were already, on the beach, waiting for the sun to rise. First, a bit of pale ray appeared in the east, then it became brighter and brighter. An orange top of a cap rose little by little from the sea. Suddenly, the sun sprang out of the seawater, looking like a large elliptic ball, and the sky in the east became red. Later, the sun was hidden behind a piece of cloud. When it appeared again, the sun changed from red to bright red, then to golden. As it rose, it became silvery white and shone out. The light was so intense that we couldn’t look at it directly. At that time, the whole sea was in the golden sunlight. We were impressed by the beauty. When the sun shined on my face, I smell the hope of the new year. I made my wish for the future, and I will greet each day with hope and love.
