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)

    “What is more pretentiously
    useless
    or about which
    we more pride ourselves?
    It leads as often as not
    to our undoing.”
    —William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
