A sweet disorder in the dress Kindles in clothes a wantonness: A lawn about the shoulders thrown Into a fine distraction… 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.
Robert Herrick Quotes
Where we such clusters had, As made us nobly wild, not mad; And yet each verse of thine Out-did the meat, out-did the frolic wine.
