Answer:

Since then - 'tis Centuries - and yet

Feels shorter than the Day

Explanation:

A paradox is a self-contradictory statement to one's investigation that was found true. So an example would be save money by spending it. This is not the same as saving money TO spend it, because you're doing it for a reason. Saving money by spending would mean that you're not actually saving money, therefore you contradict yourself.

I chose these lines because they author is basically saying that it's been centuries since then, but it actually feels like it's been a shorter period.

Answer:

"Boundless and bare."

Explanation:

Identify the infinitive phrase and the subject of the infinitive in the sentence below.
kondaur [170]
Infinitive phrases starts with infinitives that is, “to” added by a simple verb and can be used as nouns, adjectives or adverbs. In the case of including a main clause in the sentence, infinitive phrase separates it with comma.   ‘

To speak clearly’ and ‘to being understood’ are used as an adverb because ‘to’ precedes to the word ‘speak’ which is a verb, an action word.  
<span>
Adverbs are words used in shifting or adding meaning of a verb, clause, adjective, or another adverb. They can be used if: firstly, a sentence contains a subject and a predicate. Secondly, when a subordinate conjunction is used and thirdly, if it answer the ‘adverbial questions’ – when, why, when and how. It is also further categorized to time, place, manner, degree, condition, concession and reason.</span>
