Love The Imperfect

In Delight in Disorder by Robert Herrick, imperfections attract the speaker. The disorder in one's clothing allures the speaker. Paradox conveys the theme of loving imperfections. People want order, structure and perfection. They spend their live perfecting machines, organization, the people around them, and even themselves. The pursuit of perfection is drilled into the minds of every person by the world around them. The speaker states the opposite: "Do more bewitch me than when art is too precise in every part" (Herrick, 979). Rather than seeking the person with the perfect qualities, the speaker finds that the person with imperfections is perfect. The imperfections make people unique and contribute to their attractiveness. The perfect person happens to be the one without every perfect quality.
