Delight in Disorder

The oxymorons used in this poem about the disorder of dress being very appealing is seen by the diction. Oxymoron's such as "wild civility" show how such fine ornaments of clothing, while refined when in order, are very beautiful when in disarray. It is a sensual poem about how not being perfect is very attractive. I also feel though that it applies to art when the speaker talks that "bewitch me than when art Is too precise in every part." This means that being to perfect takes away the simple beauty of a work art. Therefore the poem's use of oxymorons helps the reader understand the power of disorder to make things beautiful.
