Vaughan Porch

Famous quotes containing the words vaughan and/or porch:

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

    I press not to the quire, nor dare I greet
    The holy place with my unhallowed feet;
    My unwashed Muse pollutes not things divine,
    Nor mingles her profaner notes with thine;
    Here humbly at the porch she listening stays,
    And with glad ears sucks in thy sacred lays.
    Thomas Carew (1589–1639)
