Educated at Oxford and studying law in London, Vaughan was recalled home in 1642 when the first Civil War broke out, and he remained there the rest of his life. In 1646 his Poems, with the Tenth Satyre of Juvenal Englished George Herbert Silex Scintillans Mount of Olives: or, Solitary Devotions (1652) show the depth of his religious convictions and the authenticity of his poetic genius. Two more volumes of secular verse were published, ostensibly without his sanction; but it is his religious verse that has lived. He also translated short moral and religious works and two medical works in prose. At some time in the 1650s he began to practice medicine and continued to do so throughout his life.

His tombstone is located outside the east wall of the church and bears a Latin inscription which he composed. The church, located on the banks of the River Usk, was rebuilt in the 19th century. (See map...ref no. 18) Vaughan began writing secular poems but following a religious conversion turned his attention to devotional verse. He attributed his conversion largely to reading the work of George Herbert . In 1650 Vaughan published his best known collection Silex Scintillans. This featured a mystical philosophy influenced by the hermeticism of his twin brother Thomas who was a philospher and a practicising alchemist. On the title page of the collection Vaughan refers to himself as a 'Silurist' - a name taken from the Silures tribe who inhabited the Brecon Beacons at the time of the Roman invasion.

Vaughan published his first work, Poems, with the Tenth Satire of Juvenal Englished in 1646, followed by Olor Iscamus The Swan of Usk ) in 1651. His most memorable poetry is contained in his Silex Scintillans The Gleaming Flint ), a collection of meditative and religious poems which convey the depth of his faith and the sadness of lost innocence: "O how I long to travel back, And tread again that ancient track". His final work Thalia Rediviva , published in 1678, somewhat lacks his earlier sensitivity. He also produced a number of prose works on religious and medieval themes. Henry Vaughan was proud of his Welsh origins and liked to be known as the Silurist after the Silures, one of the ancient British tribes which formerly inhabited Brecknockshire. The Retreat

   Extractions: Recollections, 1971 - 1977 Background: Let me start this interview with a different perspective than discussing administrative computing, per se. That was only a part of my responsibilities at Cornell. My job was actually much broader than just overseeing the use of computers for administrative purposes. In the late 60s Cornell quietly hired McKinsey and Co. to make an analysis of how the University might begin to better manage itself, although "management" was (and is) a bad word in research universities like Cornell. One of the consultant's recommendations was that Cornell should create a vice-presidential level position to oversee the definition and development of an appropriate Management Information System [MIS]. Cornell apparently decided that it would be too controversial and expensive to exactly follow the consultant's recommendation. Instead, they decided to create a lesser "Director" position, reporting to the Vice President for Administration, and began conducting a national search for applicants with relevant experience. Subsequently I was told that I had been one of about 400 people who had responded to blind ads that appeared in both the NY Times and the Washington Post during the spring of 1970. The Cornell Hiring Process: About six months later, and after two visits to campus involving interviews with sixty-one different people, I was hired into the new position called "Director of Management Systems and Analysis". The University's direction to me was to take control of the existing administrative computing resources (and an existing separate Institutional Research Department), to define and start to develop a management information system, and to serve as an internal consultant to the University's Executive Staff.

Vaughan was born, and lived for most of his life, in the village of Llansanffraid, near Brecon, where he is buried. During the English Civil War, he was a Royalist sympathiser. He took his literary inspiration from his native environment, calling himself a "Silurist" in homage to the Silures, the Celtic tribe of south Wales which resisted the Roman invasion of Britain. Vaughan's greatest verse appears in the collection Silex scintillans, first published in 1650. Henry Vaughan's poetry reflects his love of nature and mysticism and influenced the work of Wordsworth, among others. Much of Vaughan's poetry has a particularly modern sound. This is an example of an especially beautiful fragment of one of his poems entitled
