 | | Lazarus choice of the title is an allusion to the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World, a giant bronze statue of the Sun God Helios that had overlooked the Greek City's harbor. |  | | The question is, why have her non-Statue works slipped through the cracks; what about the "Jewess?" |  | | However, as observed through modern perspective, Lazarus is seen as a person writing from the outside, a person set apart from the people she sought to guide and aide, a defender of the Jews who is hardly one of them. |

 | | As an American author, she felt that ancient lands could keep their old traditions and "storied pomp." At the same time, Lazarus invoked her ancient Greek ideals by transforming the "brazen giant " into a "Mother of Exiles" who retains Greek majesty, beauty and defiance as a new Colossus. |  | | In 1903, sixteen years after her death, Lazarus' sonnet was engraved on a plaque and placed in the pedestal as a memorial. |  | | The famous sonnet echoes many of the conflicting identities and ideals Lazarus dealt with in her own life. |
