New Colossus

Yesterday, I wrote about the model of the Statue of Liberty.

That got me to thinking about the poem written at the base of the Statue in New York Harbor.

"New Colossus" written by Emma Lazarus.


"Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. The wretched refuse of your teaming shore. Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" 


Beautiful sentiment.
