Here are the lines:  Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate: Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date

Answer:

to express love by likening a loved one to a nice day

Explanation:

Comparisons are most times used in literature to help people have better visualization and appreciation of a subject being discussed by a speaker. In these lines from Shakespeare's Sonnet 18, he likens his loved one to a summer's day. Just as a summer day was bright and temperate, so was his lover lovely and gentle. He also likens his lover to a beautiful bud that remained unshaken despite the unfavorable winds.

I heard a girl scream “I found my pencil”. I was flipped upside down and rubbed against a piece of paper. The words began to disappear and the girl smiled. I realized that my duty from now on would be much more than writing down love stories and letters, now I could fix the mistakes of whoever got ahold of me.
