Oxymoron


Oxymoron is a special form of Antithesis, whereby two contradictory
qualities are predicted at once of the same thing.
Examples:-
1. His honour rooted in dishonour stood.
And faith unfaithful kept him falsely true.
2. So innocent arch, so cunningly simple.
3. She accepted it as the kind cruelty of the surgeon's knife.
