Delight in Disorder
In Delight in Disorder by Robert Herrick the speaker is talking about the beauty of flaws. The speaker says that "I see a wild civility; Do more bewitch me than when art Is too precise in every part" (979). The disorder, the chaos, is way more interesting than order or perfection. The speaker is saying that there is value in imperfection because that is when a woman is being true to herself. When a woman is herself, her imperfect self, she is most beautiful. Herrick uses the disorder of clothing to show the flaws of a woman and how those are beautiful. These flaws make a person perfect and more interesting. The speaker is delighted by disorder and does not like precise. He would much rather a wild mess because that is more believable and right than perfection. I really enjoyed this poem because I believe that imperfection is beauty. Everyone is different and their flaws make them who they are.
