Powerful Poem about the Beauty of Imperfection - Alan Rickman Reads Poetry

Delight in Disorder depicts that things need not be pristine to be admired. The imperfection of the poet’s muse, in this scenario, is a source of joy for him. The erring lace, a careless shoestring, and a neglected cuff bewilder him more than anything that is impeccable. “Delight in Disorder“ BY ROBERT HERRICK Read by Alan Rickman 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 Ribands 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. #poetry
