Read the excerpt from act i, scene iii of romeo and juliet.
lady capulet: tell me, daughter juliet,
how stands your disposition to be married?
***
the valiant paris seeks you for his love.
nurse: a man, young lady! lady, such a man . .
lady capulet: verona’s summer hath not such a flower.
nurse: nay, he’s a flower; in faith, a very flower.
when nurse says that paris is a flower, she is using a metaphor meaning that he is
fragile.
handsome.
tender.
young.

Explanation:

She's just worried that Paris is attractive and will make a decent husband. She doesn't think about the romantic parts of love. Romantics characteristics are what Juliet longs for and once she meets Romeo and he discloses to her he is loving her as a religious pilgrim may, she is hooked.

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.
