my mistress' eyes are nothing like the sun;
coral is far more red, than her lips' red;

but no such roses see i in her cheeks;

A. The poet uses unusual metaphors to imply the intensity of his love.

Explanation:

In this poem, Shakespeare uses unusual metaphors to refer to the beloved. With these metaphors he expresses that he is aware that his beloved is no more beautiful than nature or divine things and it is this consistency that proves the poet's love for this woman.

In this poem Shakespear meant that when poets use metaphors to make comparisons that are not real about the beauty of their beloved, they do not really love her, they just love her beauty.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
