Golden Gate Quoteography - 33 Captivating quotes about the magnificent bridge is a book that is one of its kind. When you read these quotes you will feel that this bridge is a living phenomenon. These quotes are poetically so rich and unique that it will make you visualize the bridge even without being on it, the princely diadem on the head of America. These quotes are from the poem - "Ah! The Golden Gate Bridge!" added at the end of the book. It tells the story of how the bridge connects so many hearts and souls across the whole world, how it is a lovely example of poetry and engineering rejoicing in its full beauty. People have different perceptions about the Golden Gate Brid≥some consider it's a place for happiness and for some a place for suicide. These quotes say it all. The speaker goes deep down into what the bridge actually is, for the ordinary man, for the architect and for a poet.Each stanza of "Ah! The Golden Gate Bridge!" is poetically built from statements about the bridge, including metaphor to convey emotional responses upon viewing it, physical descriptions of the bridge itself, and interesting facts from the bridge's history. Each stanza is a stand-alone statement that is then connected to the others by the repetition of the title as a refrain. The poem opens with a statement of connection, not only land & building to the other side but also connection between humanity. The speaker then describes a sorrowful usage of the bridge, that of death, in the next stanza. In the stanza that follows, the speaker gives the first tidbit from the story of the making of the bridge, referring to the skills of its builder. In the eighteenth stanza, the builder is mentioned by name, Joseph B. Strauss, the man who worked hard to ensure that his dream was built. Additional stanzas give more pieces of this story, including describing the tension and conflict over the decision to build it, Strauss's inspiration for designing this bridge, and a metaphor of his guidance during construction, comparing the process to a wise doctor guiding a difficult birth. In addition to these pieces of historical fact, there are several stanzas that describe the physical structure. The bridge is compared to an orange straw, two orange pens, and a pair of upraised orange hands, each stanza reminding the reader of the bridge's distinctive color. The speaker also states that it is a single suspension bridge, describes it as wearing a jacket of fog but unhooded (giving a picture of its height), and feet cemented in water. A unique metaphor compares the bridge to a giant with legs tall enough for ships to cross under, a strong chest, and a heart full of music. As a final thread in this poem, the speaker includes several stanzas about the emotional impact it has. It is a bridge that helps bring about ecstasy and get rid of burdens, a bridge that causes wonder and surprise, and a bridge that takes away one's breath upon seeing or crossing over it. The poem closes with a stanza that states this bridge is a victory of what is possible over what is impossible. It is a statement that reminds the reader dreams can be fought for, and achieved. And if a physical reminder is needed, one only has to drive across the Golden Gate Bridge, remember the story, and hope.

The Magnificent Bridge is a poetic portrayal of a young woman's identity-shattering illumination. In turmoil over the post 9/11 state of the world, the protagonist gazes at her reflection in the mirror and, in a moment of radiance, realizes she is not what she has always assumed herself to be. Stunned at her discovery, Isabelle struggles to come to terms with a new perception that shows her she is more spirit than body, more consciousness than woman or even mother. Isabelle's spiritual awakening is quickly followed by a dark night of the soul in which she falls in love with a man who has been diagnosed with terminal cancer. On a magnificent bridge between Heaven and Earth, unable to quiet her heart's calling, she finds that she must choose between the family she adores and the man whose simple, magnetic presence stirs her soul. A Course In Miracles quotes are woven throughout the story, compelling the reader to pause and reflect on the depth and power of the book's heartfelt message. It is a message of truth and surrender that has the ability to awaken its readers and to assist them in their transformation into unity consciousness.

In this extraordinary graphic novel, author Peter J. Tomasi and illustrator Sara DuVall bring to life the construction of one of the most iconic landmarks in the world and shine a light on the incredible triumphs and tragedies that went into building the Brooklyn Bridge. After the accidental death of John Augustus Roebling in 1869, it was up to Roebling's son Washington to complete the massive project. Unfortunately, there was more pain to follow, as Washington developed caisson disease, leaving him bedridden. Washington's wife, Emily, deftly assumed a key role in the bridge's construction by becoming her husband's eyes and ears at the work site. As Washington's wisest council, Emily skillfully navigated work crews who now had to answer to a woman, contractors, a hostile press, and a greedy city politician--all looking to take credit for the magnificent bridge slowly making its way across the East River. Through it all, the Roeblings persisted, rising above every obstacle to build the great bridge that connects Brooklyn and New York.

A graphic novel depicting the history of the construction of the Brooklyn Bridge and the family that made it happen. In this extraordinary graphic novel, author Peter J. Tomasi and illustrator Sara DuVall bring to life the construction of one of the most iconic landmarks in the world and shine a light on the incredible triumphs and tragedies that went into building the Brooklyn Bridge. After the accidental death of John Augustus Roebling in 1869, it was up to Roebling’s son Washington to complete the massive project. Unfortunately, there was more pain to follow, as Washington developed caisson disease, leaving him bedridden. Washington’s wife, Emily, deftly assumed a key role in the bridge’s construction by becoming her husband’s eyes and ears at the work site. As Washington’s wisest council, Emily skillfully navigated work crews who now had to answer to a woman, contractors, a hostile press, and a greedy city politician—all looking to take credit for the magnificent bridge slowly making its way across the East River. Through it all, the Roeblings persisted, rising above every obstacle to build the great bridge that connects Brooklyn and New York. “Told by prolific superhero scribe Tomasi . . . with charmingly understated art by the Eisner-nominated Duvall . . . this historical graphic narrative presents dramatic events in a matter-of-fact, realistic way. . . . Rather than being a story of a singular genius overcoming adversity, the book is a paean to collaboration. Iconic structures often have fascinating stories behind them, but rarely do the tellings emphasize the human as this one does,” —Publishers Weekly “[Tomasi] does a magnificent job of depicting the politics, the danger, and the tenacity of the Roebling family and the hundreds of workers who built the bridge,” —Good Comics for Kids
