I have been watching The OA and there's a scene where the guard reads to her the plaque near the Statue of Liberty. We hear a few phrases of the sonnet all the time, but there are other words, too. "...A mighty woman with a torch, whose flame Is the imprisoned lightning, and her name Mother of Exiles." It's just heartbreaking and enraging that this aspiration has been so shattered and driven astray. https://www.nps.gov/stli/learn/historyculture/colossus.htm
