Delight In Disorder: Personal Reflection

I found this poem to be very interesting in the speaker's view towards disorder. Generally, our everyday lives have a schedule and plans to govern the day. However, the speaker in the poem conveys his objection to this. He finds satisfaction among disorderly things and even anger among order. The speaker states that he finds a sweet disorder in some dress. The oxymoron, "wild civility", describing the tied and orderly shoelace among the disorderly dress conveys this outlook the speaker has on order. He, in contrast to society, views civilization as being somewhat barbaric or "wild." I found this point of view on the matter very interesting because it is something most people don't ever think about in our daily lives of "wild civility."
