Paradox; a statement or proposition that, despite sound reasoning from acceptable premises, leads to a conclusion that seems senseless, logically unacceptable, or self-contradictory.

Oxymoron; a figure of speech in which contradictory terms appear in conjunction.

Describe the worst and the best conditions in which you've ever tried to study. What was the outcome of these study sessions?
Zepler [3.9K]
Studying in a public place like a station or bus is the worst. And studying in a library or home is the best. studying in a bus or station is worst because there are, at most times, noisy people around. The more unnecessary noise the less focused you are. And studying at home or a library is way better. The library is quiet so you wouldn't have to worry about not concentrating; being at home may be better because the familiar surroundings keep you comfortable.

Troyanec [42]

Muse, Greek Mousa or Moisa, Latin Musa, in Greco-Roman religion and mythology, any of a group of sister goddesses of obscure but ancient origin, the chief centre of whose cult was Mount Helicon in Boeotia, Greece. They were born in Pieria, at the foot of Mount Olympus. Very little is known of their cult, but they had a festival every four years at Thespiae, near Helicon, and a contest (Museia), presumably—or at least at first—in singing and playing.

Although Marvell and Donne both employ metaphysical conceits in their poems, their purposes and aesthetics differ. Examine these
Maurinko [17]

John Donne is well known for his original and complex conceits. He establishes unheard comparisons between two objects. For example, in one poem he uses the metaphor of coins to express teardrops. In the same way, in his famous poem "The Flea", Donne elaborates an intrincate metaphor of love in the mixing of blood on the inside of a flee. The poet speaks to his mistress about not killing the flea that carries both of their bloods, meaning a plea that their love does not end. This is an elegant, but as well sarcastic and humorous way of expression. That if the main difference between Donne and Marvell. The first one has a playful style, while the second one is more serious, as he explores ideas in two paths: their inmediate meaning and the philosophical implications. Marvell follows a more classical approach, in the sense that he unearths some concepts from the literary heritage, such as <em>carpe diem </em>in his poem "To His Coy Mistress". In this poem, Marvell focusses on telling a girl about how limited time is, how they cannot waste their lives and how they have to enjoy to the fullest their existences.
