Vaughan Williams

Famous quotes containing the words vaughan and/or williams:

    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)

    Sure
    love is cruel
    and selfish
    and totally obtuse—
    at least, blinded by the light,
    young love is.
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
