The Love of Order Poem Essay Cantos and Virtue
The poem presents the Love of Order as a universal virtue visible in creation, youth, and age. It describes orderly play, disciplined study, daily routines, and a life of meticulous neatness culminating in Carmelia who remains a virgin maid at sixty three, embodying order through life and death. The verses contrast order with vice and anarchy, noting how rhythm, measures, and regularity shape character and fate through time.
