Leído por LibriVox Volunteers
The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus is a powerful sonnet that redefines the image of America as a welcoming refuge for immigrants. Written in 1883, this iconic poem is best known for its inscription on the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty, symbolizing hope and opportunity for those seeking a new life.
In this work, Lazarus contrasts the ancient, oppressive figures of the Old World with the new, inviting spirit of America. Through vivid imagery and poignant language, she captures the essence of a nation built on the dreams of the downtrodden and the yearning for freedom.
As you listen, reflect on the themes of identity, belonging, and the enduring promise of liberty. Lazarus's words resonate with contemporary discussions about immigration and the American dream, making this poem not only a historical artifact but also a relevant commentary on society today.
