Which is an example of a paradox within the excerpt?

And in their triumph die, like fire and powder,
Which, as they kiss consume:
the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness
Therefore love moderately; long love doth so;

Answer:

the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness.

Explanation:

A figure of speech which is produced when two contrasting statements are combined to produce a somewhat puzzling or absurd superficial meaning. However, when researched may prove to hold or be true.

In the excerpt above, a paradox could be picked in the statement ;

"the sweetest honey / Is loathsome in his own deliciousness"

Here, honey as popularly known and described here as sweet, then still regarded as loathsome, which means repulsive.

Hence, Loathsome in deliciousness, that is repulsive and delicious seems very contradictory atleast superficially.

Some work of noble note, may yet be done,
Not unbecoming men that strove with Gods.

The first blind man happened to put his hand on the elephant's side. "Well, well!" he said, "now I know all about this beast. He is exactly like a wall."

The second felt only of the elephant's tusk. "My brother," he said, "you are mistaken. He is not at all like a wall. He is round and smooth and sharp. He is more like a spear than anything else."

The third happened to take hold of the elephant's trunk. "Both of you are wrong," he said. "Anybody who knows anything can see that this elephant is like a snake."

The fourth reached out his arms, and grasped one of the elephant's legs. "Oh, how blind you are!" he said. "It is very plain to me that he is round and tall like a tree."

The fifth was a very tall man, and he chanced to take hold of the elephant's ear. "The blindest man ought to know that this beast is not like any of the things that you name," he said. "He is exactly like a huge fan."

The sixth was very blind indeed, and it was some time before he could find the elephant at all. At last he seized the animal's tail. "O foolish fellows!" he cried. "You surely have lost your senses. This elephant is not like a wall, or a spear, or a snake, or a tree; neither is he like a fan. But any man with a particle of sense can see that he is exactly like a rope."

Then the elephant moved on, and the six men sat by the roadside all day, and quarreled about him. Each believed that he knew just how the animal looked; and each called the others hard names because they did not agree with him. People who have eyes sometimes act as foolishly.

To encourage people to enter the race, organizers include the following quote:

"Until one is committed, there is hesitancy, the chance to draw back, always ineffectiveness. Concerning all acts of initiative and creation, there is one elementary truth the ignorance of which kills countless ideas and splendid plans: that the moment one definitely commits oneself, then providence moves too. All sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred. A whole stream of events issues from the decision, raising in one's favor all manner of unforeseen incidents, meetings and material assistance which no man could have dreamed would have come his way. Whatever you can do or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now." - Goethe

Discuss the effect this quotation might have on someone who is afraid of entering the race.
