"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."

А мне отдайте ваших усталых, ваших

бедных…
Храните, древние страны, вашу легендарную
А мне отдайте из глубин бездонных
Своих изгоев, люд забитый свой,
Пошлите мне отверженных, бездомных,
Я им свечу у двери золотой...

Ellis Island
and the
Statue of Liberty
As we get off the boat here at Ellis Island,
imagine how the first immigrants felt as they
disembarked from their ships to smell the
clean air of freedom and gaze up at the
towering statue that represents the dreams of
a nation. In one hand, the torch of liberty, a
beacon that burns through the darkness of
oppression. In the other hand, the tablet on
which the date when independence was truly
declared is forever recorded. Look further up,
to the heavens, and see the seven continents
of the world. Don’t forget to visit the museum
and relax after with a nice cappuccino from
the cafe. The gift shop is on your left
