The best paraphrase of line 12 is "like everyone,she walks on the ground"

Throughout the sonnet the speaker is portraying his beloved as someone ordinary. He highlights the common characteristics and beauty of his lover using the conventional comparisons of the Shakespeare's days for love poetry but in a negative way.

The love poetry of the those days was mainly based on metaphors comparing nature with the beauty of the loved women. In this sonnet Shakespeare reversed those conventions.

In line 12 and in the previous one the speaker states that he has never seen a goddess walking but he's sure that her mistress walks like everyone else.

reread paragraph 24 of little women. what do those lines most likely tell us about beth and the girls?

Shtirlitz [24]

In paragraph 24 of Little Women, we are given insight into the state of mind of the girls and how upset they are about the stigma surrounding women of their time.

In paragraph 24, the author shows us a common problem with beth and the girls. To summarize the problem explained in the paragraph, beth and the girls are often criticized for not being "lady-like". This gives us unique insight about how beth and the girls wish that they were born as boys and are very upset about the stigma and boring expectations that surround being a woman in their time.
