I am truly enjoying the poetry of Emma Lazarus. I pick it and read it from time to time. her style is classical. her words are beautifully chosen. one of my favorite lines:
"In two divided streams the exiles part,
one rolling homeward to its ancient source.
one rushing sunward with fresh will, new heart. By each the truth is spread, the law unfurled. Each seperate soul contains the nation's force. And both embrace the world."
just beautiful imagery.
