• amerikalı şair hart crane'in bu köprü üzerine bir şiiri vardır. işte şu şekilde:
  
  to brooklyn bridge
  
  how many dawns, chill from his rippling rest
  the seagull's wings shall dip and pivot him,
  shedding white rings of tumult, building high
  over the chained bay waters liberty--
  
  then, with inviolate curve, forsake our eyes
  as apparitional as sails that cross
  some page of figures to be filed away;
  --till elevators drop us from our day . . .
  
  i think of cinemas, panoramic sleights
  with multitudes bent toward some flashing scene
  never disclosed, but hastened to again,
  foretold to other eyes on the same screen;
  
  and thee, across the harbor, silver-paced
  as though the sun took step of thee, yet left
  some motion ever unspent in thy stride,--
  implicitly thy freedom staying thee!
  
  out of some subway scuttle, cell or loft
  a bedlamite speeds to thy parapets,
  tilting there momently, shrill shirt ballooning,
  a jest falls from the speechless caravan.
  
  down wall, from girder into street noon leaks,
  a rip-tooth of the sky's acetylene;
  all afternoon the cloud-flown derricks turn . . .
  thy cables breathe the north atlantic still.
  
  and obscure as that heaven of the jews,
  thy guerdon . . . accolade thou dost bestow
  of anonymity time cannot raise:
  vibrant reprieve and pardon thou dost show.
  
  o harp and altar, of the fury fused,
  (how could mere toil align thy choiring strings!)
  terrific threshold of the prophet's pledge,
  prayer of pariah, and the lover's cry,--
  
  again the traffic lights that skim thy swift
  unfractioned idiom, immaculate sigh of stars,
  beading thy path--condense eternity:
  and we have seen night lifted in thine arms.
  
  under thy shadow by the piers i waited;
  only in darkness is thy shadow clear.
  the city's fiery parcels all undone,
  already snow submerges an iron year . . .
  
  o sleepless as the river under thee,
  vaulting the sea, the prairies' dreaming sod,
  unto us lowliest sometime sweep, descend
  and of the curveship lend a myth to god.
• gördüğüm en muhteşem köprü. hem kendisi, hem üzerinde gece new york manzarası beni sarhoş etti. new york'un görülmeğe değer en önemli hazilerinden biri olduğunu düşünüyorum. buyrun görsel görsel2
• çeliğin icadı ile yapılan, çelik tel kullanılan dünyanın ilk köprüsü. ayrıca yanında brooklyn bridge park vardır, oldukça keyifli ve güzel zaman geçirebilirsiniz. parkın ilerisinde pier 6’te helikopter ile manhattan turu yapabilir, unutulmaz fotoğraflar çekebilirsiniz. tavsiye ederim
