Thank you Kathy, Debbie, Milanie, Katy, Vikki, Babs, Dorre, Issi, Kathy, Katrina, Keren, Marilyn and Stephanie!
We knew you'd all recognize Lady Liberty. Did you know that the title of this statue is actually Lady Liberty Enlightening the World? Well, now you do! Thanks for all the views, comments and favs!
Piggy looks like she's giving a speech or reciting a poem.
The New Colossus
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-tost to me,
I lift my lamp beside the golden door!"
