My dream has been realized. I can only say that I am enchanted. This thing will live to eternity, when we shall have passed away, and everything living with us has moldered away; to glorify the republic and liberty over there in the hope that someday I will find it again here in France.
Frédéric Auguste Bartholdi, sculptor of the Statue of Liberty, born on this day in 1834
