Delight in Disorder: Oxymoron

This poem had a couple different oxymorons in it. The first was in the title itself: Delight in Disorder. Then in line one, 'sweet disorder'. Later it mentions 'wild civility'. These all convey the same message. Chaos, unusuallness, and disorder are presented positively. This is uncommon. The author is trying to encourage uniqueness. He is emphasizing the importantance of individuality.
