The New Colossus, 1883 Not like the brazen giant of Greek fame,With conquering limbs astride from land to land;Here at our sea-washed sunset gates shall standA mighty woman with a torch, whose flameIs the imprisoned lightening, and her nameMother of Exiles. From her beacon-handGlows world-wide welcome; her mild eyes commandThe air-bridged harbor that twin cities frame. "Keep ancient lands, your storied pomp!" cries sheWith 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-tost to me,I lift my lamp beside the golden door."

  12. Angel Island Instead of remaining a citizen of China, I willingly became an ox.I intended to come to America to earn a living.The western styled building are lofty; but I have not the luck to live in them.How was anyone to know that my dwelling place would be a prison.
