<Li> A 1911 O. Henry story relates a fanciful conversation between "Mrs. Liberty" and another statue; "The Lady Higher Up" relates a fanciful dialog between the statue and the then - famous Statue of Diana at Madison Square Garden . In the story, Diana asks "Mrs. Liberty" why she speaks with what Diana terms a "City Hall brogue ." Liberty answers: "If ye'd studied the history of art in its foreign complications ye'd not need to ask . If ye wasn't so light - headed and giddy ye'd know that I was made by a Dago and presented to the American people on behalf of the French Government for the purpose of welcomin' Irish immigrants into the Dutch city of New York ." </Li> <Li> In Amerika by Franz Kafka, the author inaccurately depicts the statue as holding aloft a sword rather than a torch . </Li> <Li> During the 1940s and 1950s, the iconography of science fiction in the United States was filled with images of ancient, decayed Statues of Liberty, set in the distant future . The covers of famous pulp magazines such as Amazing Stories and Astounding Science Fiction all featured Lady Liberty at one time, surrounded by ruins or by the sediments of the ages, as curious aliens or representatives of advanced or degenerate humans of the future gazed upon her remains . The February 1941 cover of Astounding showed a primitive man and woman approaching on a raft a Statue of Liberty surrounded by wild growth . </Li> <Li> In the final scene of Maggie - Now (1958) by Betty Smith, two characters scatter Maggie's late husband's ashes from the statue's torch . </Li>
