Henry Vaughan
Welsh poet. His most important book is the collection of religious verse Silex Scintillans ['Shining Flint'], first issued in 1650, and enlarged in 1655. Poems such as 'Regeneration', 'The World' and 'They Are All Gone into the World of Light' embody an unusually intense spiritual vision, and his feeling for the natural world gives his best work a vividly immediate quality. His religious convictions are also developed in the prose works The Mount of Olives: or, Solitary Devotions (1652) and Flores Solitudinis (1654).

    http://shakespeareauthorship.com/xmas/vaughan.html
    Henry Vaughan (1621-95)
    Christ's Nativity
    I
    Awake, glad heart! Get up and sing,
    It is the birthday of thy King,
    Light from his locks, and all the way
    Breathing perfumes, doth spice the day.
    Awake, awake! Hark, how the wood rings,
    Winds whisper, and the busy springs
    Man is their high-priest, and should rise
    To offer up the sacrifice.
    I would I were some bird or star,
    Fluttering in woods, or lifted far
    Then either star, or bird, should be Shining, or singing still to Thee. I would I had in my best part Fit rooms for Thee! Or that my heart But I am all filth, and obscene, Yet if Thou wilt, Thou canst make clean. Sweet Jesu! will then; Let no more This leper haunt, and soil Thy door, And let once more by mystic birth The Lord of life be born in earth.
    II
    How kind is heaven to man! If here Straight there is joy, and every sphere And shall we then no voices lift? Not worth our thanks? Is life a gift Shall He that did come down from thence, Shall He be now cast off? No sense Can neither Love, nor sufferings bind?

    28. Architronic V3n3.04
    Walter Leedy writes in the journal Architronic about Amasa Stone Memorial Chapel at Case Western Reserve University.
    http://architronic.saed.kent.edu/v3n3/v3n3.04.html
    HENRY VAUGHAN'S CLEVELAND COMMISSION:
    A STUDY OF PATRONAGE, CONTEXT, AND CIVIC RESPONSIBILITY
    Walter Leedy
    Cleveland State University
    Amasa Stone Memorial Chapel (1) Henry Vaughan's Amasa Stone Memorial Chapel in Cleveland was a gift to Adelbert College by Clara Hay and Flora Mather in memory of their father, Amasa Stone (1818-1883). (Fig. 1) (Fig. 2) (Fig. 5) Dedicated in 1911, this small but cultivated commission is worth investigating because it was a stepping stone to the great American collegiate chapels of the 1920s, for example, those built at Princeton and the University of Chicago. As such, it can offer insight into the dynamic forces at play in a Midwestern American city at a crucial point in the development of urban America, as well as insight into the forces that shaped the goals of higher education. It is not the objective of this paper to analyze or articulate the precise sources for Vaughan's architectural details. However, while it now common knowledge that Vaughan looked to the Gothic, West Country, parish-church architecture in England for inspiration, it has not been sufficiently emphasized that his sources were buildings used and paid for, for the most part, by ordinary Englishmen. In other words, they were edifices built by the community . This notion is key to understanding Vaughan's architecture. (2) Amasa Stone was a prominent Northern Ohio contractor, railroad manager and financier who made possible by a gift of over $500,000 the move of Western Reserve College from Hudson, Ohio, to Cleveland. Concomitantly, its name was changed to Adelbert College of Western Reserve University, as a memorial to his son, Adelbert. This new college, which was completed in 1882, was built adjacent to the proposed Case School of Applied Science; a school of medicine part of Western Reserve University was proposed to be moved to the same neighborhood, and a college of theology was under consideration. The concept was to create a critical mass of educational institutions to attract both students and resources. Two of the three initially planned educational institutions arose and ultimately merged in 1967 to form Case Western Reserve University.

  • Davies's book appears in Seren's Border Line Series, a set of mostly introductory studies dedicated to writers on both sides of the England-Wales border, including A. E. Housman, Wilfred Owen, Mary Webb, and Raymond Williams. The series editor, John Powell Ward, however, distinguishes Davies's Vaughan from more elementary works in the set. In his afterword to the volume, Ward comments that while Davies's book is not "`academic' in the pejorative sense . . .; at the same time it is a specialist book, entailing among other things the essential scholarly apparatus such a study requires." It seems that Ward has allowed Davies a bibliography, parenthetic notes, professional acknowledgments, and an index, undoubtedly in the hope that the work might contribute to scholarly discourse about Vaughan. In fact, it does, in brilliant patches, however erratically.

    Powys Literary Links - Henry Vaughan
    Henry Vaughan was born in 1621 to Thomas Vaughan and Denise Morgan in Newton-upon-Usk in Breconshire. His grandfather was William Vaughan of Tretower. In 1638, it is assumed, he entered Oxford University with his twin brother Thomas, the alchemist. Information provided by Powys County Archives: In 1640, Henry Vaughan left Oxford to study law in London for two years. He immersed himself in the life of the city and was a committed Royalist, though temperamentally unsuited to the sartorial extravagances of his fellow young men about town. His studies were interrupted by the Civil War and he returned to Brecon to work as clerk to Judge Marmaduke Lloyd, Chief Justice for the Brecon circuit of the Great Sessions. Vaughan was befriended by the Price family, who lived at the Priory, and it was here that he met and courted his first wife, Catherine Wise. The Priory Groves provided a romantic back-drop to this courtship, as well as inspiration for his poetry. Of banged mortars, blue aprons, and boys

  • Henry Vaughan 1621–1695
    Welsh-born English poet.
    INTRODUCTION
    Vaughan is among the foremost of the seventeenth-century religious poets of the Commonwealth era, occupying a high position in the literature of his time along with John Donne and George Herbert. While his early poetry places him among the "Sons of Ben," imitators of Ben Jonson, his poetry from the late 1640s and 1650s, published in two editions of Silex Scintillons (1650 and 1655) places him in the School of Donne and the religious poets of the period. His transition from the influence of the Jacobean neoclassical poets to the Metaphysicals was one manifestation of his reaction to the English Civil War, which concluded with the Church of England outlawed and low-church Protestantism in ascendancy. Vaughan kept faith with Anglicanism largely through Silex Scintillans , his sympathetic poetic response to Herbert's poetic expression of Christian belief, The Temple (1633). Vaughan's reputation rests squarely upon
