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.

Send these, the homeless, tempest-tost to me, I lift my lamp beside the golden door!" -Emma LazarusThe New Colossus
