Question

These violent delights have violent ends,And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,Which, as they kiss consume: the sweetest honeyIs loathsome in his own deliciousnessAnd in the taste confounds the appetite:Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow. Which is an example of a paradox within the excerpt?

Answer 1

Answer: Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow.

Explanation:

Paradox is the same as the opposite; contrary. So the sentence: "Too swift arrives as tardy as too slow" shows us a clear contradiction, especially among the words - swift; tardy and slow, even seeing "as ... as" we cannot say that there is a comparison between equal "speeds".
