Annotations from FDR’s 50th Anniversary of the Statue of Liberty Speech 1. “It is the memory of all these eager seeking millions Looking down this great harbor I like to think the Countless numbers of inbound vessels that have made this port. Men and women who, with the break of dawn off Sandy Hook, have strained their eyes To the west for a glimpse of the New World. 2. Most of them–– in steerage Saw things in these strange horizons which were denied to the eyes of those few who Traveled in greater luxury 3. They came to use speaking many tongues–– but a single language, the universal language of human aspiration 4. How well their hopes were justified is proved by the record of what they achieved. They not only found freedom in the New World, but by their effort and devotion, They made the New World’s freedom safer, richer, more far-reaching, more capable of growth. 6. We take satisfaction in the thought that those who have left their native land to join us may still retain here their affection for some things left behind– old customs, old language, old friends. Looking to the future, they wisely choose that their children shall Live in the new language and in the new customs of this new people. And those children More and more realize their common destiny in America. 8. The hope of the American people in receiving 10. Liberty enlightening the world would extend her rays from these shores to every other Nation 11. Message of liberty which America sends to all the world must be added her message of peace 12. A better civilization than any we have known is in store for America and by our example, Perhaps, for the world. Out of the melting pot, the rich promise which the New World held out to those who came to it from many lands is finding fulfillment. Roosevelt’s words describe the scene of immigrants arriving at the harbor and first glimpsing the Statue of Liberty as directly depicted in Frank Leslie’s illustration and more poetically in “The New Colossus”. Despite the “many tongues” the immigrants speak, they are united by their common ambition “language of human aspiration”. He also talks up the New World’s freedom using words like “safer”, “richer”, “more far-reaching” and “more capable of growth”. He recognizes the lives and people that the immigrants left behind to come to America and then fixates on the ideas of “hope” and “liberty” and a “better civilization than any we have known” that he asserts America represents to the rest of the world. He then introduces the idea of the “melting pot” which is a common metaphor when referring to the idea of America.

Deny thy father and refuse thy name, Or, if thou wilt not, be but sworn my love, And I'll no longer be a Capulet." Juliet, musing to herself and unaware that Romeo is in her garden, asks why Romeo must be Romeo—a Montague, and therefore an enemy to her family.
