inscription on the interior of the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty:
The New Colossus by Emma Lazarus
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!"
Excellent.
And the award for most chavtastic sentence on Wordie (so far) goes to...
I love this.
Britlish vb: to thump or otherwise hit a person.
E.g. Colin had being doing my head in all evening, and when he made me drop my kebab I saw red and lamped him.
