Vaughan Williams

Famous quotes containing the words vaughan and/or williams:

    So stick up ivy and the bays,
    And then restore the heathen ways,
    Green will remind you of the Spring,

    And mortifies the earth, and all,
    But your wild revels, and loose hall.
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)
