Hi there!

The following is an oxymoron, since both words mean the opposite of each other. 
The definition of an oxymoron is two words (or two sets of words) that are the opposite of each other but mean something other than that. 

Hope this helps!

Deafening Silence is an example of an oxymoron because it simply can't exist. Deafening is a word that is used to describe something that is really loud. Loud and Silent are opposites. This is how I know that statement is an oxymoron.

What does the poet imply by saying that the honeysuckle is hidden from humans' "vulgar" eye?
kotegsom [21]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Humans destroy beauty

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

Humans are selfish in nature and they are always self-centered. Everything that is essential for them is destroyed by them for their own benefits. The same idea is described by the poet here. He says that honeysuckle is a beautiful flower but since it is sweet in nature and it is edible so humans would not look at its beauty rather they would try to eat it too and destroy this beauty of nature.
