The oxymoronic form of Scève's Délie demonstrates how the destructive confrontation of contrary forces can liberate the creative energy of words. The oxymoron enacts stupor and silence, themselves contradicted by the movement of the text and theuse of words, in anoxy moron which reveals the secret of the form. The figure of Délie, or the work of language to catch l'Idée, lost in that movement, and music in Scève's poetry, redouble the structure.
