Delight in Disorder

In this poem, the speaker is describing a girl he likes. The speaker is saying that perfection isn't that important. Things look better when they're not too precise. The poem also includes an oxymoron, wild civility. The oxymoron demonstrates that the theme of the poem seems to be backwards just as wild civility seems to be backwards. The speaker also mentions the word wantonness which means without restraint or indulgence. The poem itself and the title are paradoxes. One may not think that there could be delight in disorder or that its better not to be perfect, but the speaker supports his idea with solid points.
