But the writer's style seems to have some admirers!

obama has admirers too.
Ari Ben-Canaan:
I am not sure if this is an accurate picture of the Colossus [it seems similar to all the other ones I have recently seen, other ones actually look more similar than this one]. But it does have many features similar to the Statue of Liberty. That alone is interesting to me. I am sure there is a story. It does not make me believe in the discussions in this thread, but seeing the picture in close proximity to reading this thread made me come back to it. I do still get a giggle out of the Avodah Zarah monument getting zapped now that I am back.

Perhaps the most famous reference to the Colossus of Rhodes is in the poem “The New Colossus” by Emma Lazarus, written in 1883 and inscribed on a plaque at the Statue of Liberty in New York City’s harbor:
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!”
