Famous quotes containing the word vaughan:

“Waters above! Eternal springs!
The dew that silvers the Dove’s wings!
O welcome, welcome to the sad:
Give dry dust drink, drink that makes glad!
Many fair ev’nings, many flow’rs
Sweetened with rich and gentle showers,
Have I enjoyed,”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

“For each inclosed spirit is a star
Enlightening his own little sphere,”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

“A ward, and still in bonds, one day
I stole abroad;
It was high spring, and all the way
Primrosed and hung with shade;
Yet was it frost within,
And surly winds
Blasted my infant buds, and sin
Like clouds eclipsed my mind.”
—Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
