Read this excerpt from sonnet 11 by elizabeth barrett browning:

this weary minstrel-life that once was girt
to climb aornus, and can scarce avail
to pipe now 'gainst the valley nightingale
a melancholy music
what do the allusion to aornus and the description of the speaker's singing voice show readers about the speaker?
she once was strong, but now she is weak.
she once was lonely, but now she is in love.
she once was ill, but now she is well.
she once was humble, but now she is proud.

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.
