Hopeful Stares

As the boat approached Liberty Island, I was struck by the fact that this very same view has been seen for so many, many years by so many, many people. Most of those in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries were filled with hope. They would stare, I am sure, unable to believe that they had made it. The land of the free and the home of the brave.
