About the Book

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. The author 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 author 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.
