Luis--Know this poem (by the 17c. poet Robert Herrick)?

DELIGHT IN DISORDER
by Robert Herrick


A SWEET disorder in the dress
Kindles in clothes a wantonness :
A lawn about the shoulders thrown
Into a fine distraction :
An erring lace which here and there
Enthrals the crimson stomacher :
A cuff neglectful, and thereby
Ribbons to flow confusedly :
A winning wave (deserving note)
In the tempestuous petticoat :
A careless shoe-string, in whose tie
I see a wild civility :
Do more bewitch me than when art
Is too precise in every part.

regards,

joseph

The mordancy of an imperfection on an otherwise stunning face brought in asymmetry, transience, tension, dynamism, humanity...all the things that signify life.
