Famous quotes containing the word vaughan:

    “O Joys! infinite sweetness! with what flowers
    And shoots of glory my soul breaks and buds!”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “Yet some, who all this while did weep and sing,
    And sing and weep, soared up into the ring;
    But most would use no wing.
    O fools, said I, thus to prefer dark night
    Before true light!”
    —Henry Vaughan (1622–1695)

    “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)
