"I see a wild civility."
This poem contains two oxymorons. The first one is, "sweet disorder" which is seen in the first line, and the second one is the quote above, seen in line 12. These two oxymorons are somewhat opposites, but still serve the same purpose. The speaker explains that he prefers women who dress disorderly. I happen to agree with his stance. I would much rather prefer a woman who does not care how she looks and still looks beautiful, rather than a girl who tries to be perfect. The oxymorons support the them that being "wild" or "disorder[ly]" actually looks better. In the final couplet of the poem, the speaker makes it sound like he really is explaining his view of art. He prefers abstract art over precise, perfect creations.
