Vaughan Williams

Famous quotes containing the words vaughan and/or williams:

“Should poor souls fear a shade or night,
Who came sure from a sea of light?
Or since those drops are all sent back
So sure to thee, that none doth lack,
Why should frail flesh doubt any more
That what God takes, He’ll not restore?”
—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)
