The New Colossus is a poem by American poet Emma Lazarus (1849–1887). She penned the poem in 1883 to generate money for the construction of a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty.

<h3>What sonnet is etched on the Statue of Liberty's pedestal?</h3>

Give me your tired, your destitute," the sonnet closes, and it continues to be a profoundly affecting and potent articulation of an American ideal. Her poem "The New Colossus" was chosen to be inscribed on the Statue of Liberty, the monument it commemorates.

She was a gift from the French and has been watching over New York Harbor since 1886. A tablet with the inscription "Give me your tired, your weary" was affixed to the statue's base.

Explain the irony in “to look at him was as edifying as seeing a dog in a parody of breeches and a feather hat, walking on his h
Arlecino [84]

Answer:

The irony is in saying that seeing a dog wearing pants (parody of breeches) was an uplifting or edifying sight which is really not true and which is comical when visualized.

Explanation:

An irony is expressing ones thoughts in words that mean the opposite to achieve humor. The narrator in this instance was looking down on the fireman by comparing him to a dog wearing pants and a feather hat.

He thus compared him to an animal and in the same instance, said that it was an edifying sight. He also called him a fine chap in the same breath. This is quite contradictory and that is how he achieved the use of irony in those lines.

What figure of speech is “ Jesu Maria, what deal of brine / Hath wash’d thy sallow cheeks for Rosaline” and what does it mean
Igoryamba

This is Friar Lawrence speaking to Romeo. The line could be rephrased as

How many tears did you shed for the love of Rosaline and how many tears did it take to do that.

Romeo was really one love sick puppy over Rosaline and now he's even more gone on Juliet. Father Lawrence is just in awe of that transformation. Washed is a personification.  You should go to this speech and read the rest of it.

Friar Lawrence is really giving Romeo a dressing down and in so doing, he is making a comment about the nature of men in general whose fidelity he thinks little of. It's a wonderful speech. Makes us humble to be called down that way.
