How many men out there agree with the sentiment expressed in "Delight in Disorder" ?

Asked by davidk (1432points) February 14th, 2010

Robert Herrick had a knack for getting to the point and being quite lyrical, that in many ways makes his poetry seems to me to be even more profound than William Shakespeare.

How many guys out there agree with Herrick when you read what he has to say here:

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.
