"A sweet disorder in the dress, kindles in clothes a wantonness."
Question 3
Consider the relationship of form to structure in this poem. How does this contribute to the meaning?
Instead of a neat world, the speaker prefers things to be in chaos and imperfect. In this way, the world in which the speaker is a part of is unique. The speaker strives to be different in a world that looks upon disorder in a negative way. Imperfections make life more interesting. In this way, the author has created an non-rhyming, different length sonnet which further adds to the disorder and imperfections that are purposely being stressed. In the larger sense, I think the speaker wants the reader to understand that one should embrace the disorder in life. Not everything has to be perfect and precise. The structure of the poem exemplifies this point very well.
