“The New Colossus,” by Emma Lazarus
Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame
With conquering limbs astride from land to land;
Here at our sea-washed, sunset gates shall stand
A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame
Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name
Mother of Exiles. From her beacon-hand
Glows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes command
The air-bridged harbor that
twin cities frame.
“Keep, ancient lands, your
storied pomp!” cries she
With silent lips. “Give me
your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your
teeming shore,
Send these, the homeless,
tempest-tossed to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!”
The Statue of Liberty, the formal name of which is “Liberty Enlightening the World” (La Liberté éclairant le monde), was a gift to the people of the United States from the people of France. It was designed by Frédéric Bartholdi and represents Libertas, the Roman goddess of freedom. In 1903, “The New Colossus,” a sonnet written by the American poet Emma Lazarus, was engraved on a bronze plaque and mounted inside the Statue of Liberty, which has stood on Liberty Island in New York Harbor since 1886. The Colossus of the title and the opening lines refers to the Colossus of Rhodes, a massive statue of the god Helios erected on the Greek island of Rhodes and destroyed by an earthquake in 226 BC. Emma Lazarus (1849–1887) was born in New York City into a family of Portuguese Sephardic Jews. A novelist, playwright, poet, and translator, she is best remembered for this poem that she composed in 1883.
