Vaughan Council

Famous quotes containing the words vaughan and/or council:

    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)

    There by some wrinkled stones round a leafless tree
    With beards askew, their eyes dull and wild
    Twelve ragged men, the council of charity
    Wandering the face of the earth a fatherless child....
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
