| 9. | oxymoron | ||
|
A sentence or phrase of contradictions that seem to make no sense upon first perusal but actual does on closer inspection. A common misconception is that any set of contradicting words placed together makes an oxymoron; but a phrase or sentence is truly not an oxymoron unless it actually DOES make sense, even if it might not seem to. Parting is such sweet sorrow.
Faith unfaithful made him falsely true. |
