Answer:

Here are all the oxymorons in this passage (there are a lot, but you can choose 5):

Brawling love

Loving hate

Heavy lightness

Serious vanity

Feather of lead

Bright smoke

Cold fire

Sick health

Still-waking sleep

Step-by-step explanation:

An oxymoron is a seeming contradiction. A well-used example is "jumbo shrimp." Shrimp means small, and jumbo means large. How can this be, you ask yourself? It's a literary technique to emphasize the disparity between two extremes. He is suggesting that love embodies all of these contrasts such as "loving hate."
