Pythoness body-arching
Over the night like an ecstasy
I feel your coils tightening
And the world's lessening breath.

Let me share some interesting facts on Brooklyn Bridge-
1. It’s the first steel-wire suspension bridge in the world.
2. Even though it is the brainchild of engineer John Augustus Roebling, however, he could not live to see it completed. While making measurements for the future bridge in 1869, a ferry crushed Roebling’s foot. He developed tetanus because of the accident and eventually passed away. Then his son, Washington Augustus Roebling stepped in as the bridge project’s chief engineer. However, he came down with the decompression sickness and was confined to bed. Finally, this project was completed under the supervision of his wife Emily Warren Roebling. Seems like this family had to pay some price to make sure this bridge happen!
3. Beside Emily Warren, a rooster is the first being who made trip across this bridge. Lucky fella!
4. To show the sturdiness of the bridge, the city called upon showman P.T. Barnum to march 21 elephants across the Brooklyn Bridge. It must have been quite a show!
5. The bridge has gone by several names before it became Brooklyn Bridge. Such as, “Great East River Bridge, or “New York City & Brooklyn Bridge”, etc..
