In approximately1638 Vaughan and his brother, Thomas, subsequently working hard and saving their money, entered Oxford University to take a leakher on their own funds.

Vaughan returned to Breconshire, his home t! own, in 1642 as a monument to Judge Lloyd, s restlyone he much 1         1         The steer 500 Poems         William Harmon         1992 talked to and canvass with in his junior school days. His studies were off-and-on(a) by the civil struggle in which Vaughan briefly took the Kings side.

In the same year he married her and had a son, Thomas, named aft(prenominal) with twin brother, and later three daughters, Lucy, Frances and Catherine, named after her mother.3 Vaughan began to write numbers as he colonised down with his wife. His main inhalant was the numbers of George Herbert. Later in 1646 enthalpy Vaughan had his graduation al-Quran of poesy published, which was entitled Poems with the tenth Satire of Juvenal Englished. In July of 1648 total heat Vaughan and Thomass junior brother William Vaughan died, which devastated both brothers as they had come to love their younger brother. It is said that the demise of his younger brother had pushed Vaughan to write numbers nevertheless somewhat religion. total heat Vaughans secondly book of poetry was published in 1650. It was entitled Silex Scintillans which was a collection of unearthly verse forms and is mentation to be one of his longest works and achievements.4 2         The life story of Henry Vaughan         Anniina Jokinen         1996 3         Henry Vaughan Chronology         Anniina Jokinen         1996 4         The go olden 500 Poems                  William Harmon         1992 A year following Silex Scintill! ans Olor Is discountus or as it is also known The Swan of Usk was published. It was a collection of unconsecrated poetry and quartette prose stories. The poetry in Olar Iscanus is mostly about the rhapsodic chip inages about the natural cosmea. Vaughan had some spectral poetry in this book however there was sole(prenominal) a hand across-the-board of them. Silex Scintillans was reprinted in 1655, and a second af unobjectionable added of more religious poetry which was about Vaughans unearthly awakening when his younger brother died. In 1655 Vaughan remarried after his premier(prenominal) wifes death. He married his wifes sister, Elizabeth, that year. With his second wife, Vaughan had another son, Henry and three more daughters, Grisell, Lucy and Rachel.5 In 1689, Henry Vaughan and Elizabeth Vaughan moved to a cottage in Scethrog to number up the house at Newton, w pre displace Vaughan was born and lived for most of his life, in advance of Thomass cottage, Vaughans so n by his first marriage. April 23, 1695, Henry Vaughan died and was buried in Llansantffraed churchyard. Henry Vaughan was hailed a great English metaphysical poet and passionate feelings of his works bear on William Wordsworth rattling strongly, a century after his death.6 5         Henry Vaughan Chronology         Anniina Jokinen         1996 6         Henry Vaughan                  L.C. Martin                  2001 Characteristics of Henry Vaughans poetry is that he reciprocally only wrote about religion. The poetrys and the few short stories he wrote had religious meanings. Most of his metrical compositions are between 30-40 stanzas long, there were one or two numberss that were down the stairs this mark. In almost both poem Vaughan wrote he has some clear up of phrase or a passage from the Bible even in. He does this so tactfully one can scantily now prove i t is from the Bible unless one looked it up and it e! ver honorable go outms care it should be in the poem. His poetry usually rhymes and usually has the rhyme outline ABAB with end rhyme. At the beginning of e really line of products Vaughan capitalizes the first garner and some lines are indented. It is usually every second line and sometimes the indents are of discordant lengths. Since he was around in the 1600s his poetry is in old English and can be a continue on hard to understand, only when with a good dictionary at hand, it can be patient of of intimately enjoyed. Here is four different utilisations of Henry Vaughans poetry followed by an in-depth analyzes of his poem, The weewee system-Fall. The Morning Watch7 O joys! Infinite confection! With what flowrs And shoots of famous person my instinct breaks and buds! exclusively the long hours Of nighttimetime, and rest, through and through the still shrouds Of sleep, and clouds, This dew fell on my breast; Oh, how it bloods 7         Henry Vau ghan (1622-1695)         Sian Meikle         1997 And feels all my earth! Hark! In what peal And hymning circulation the tender gentlemans gentleman         Awakes and sings;         The rising winds         And totaling springs,         Birds, beasts, all things enjoy him in their conformations.         Thus all is hurld In scared hymns and read, the great ships bell And symphony of nature. Prayer is         The public in tune,         A opinion voice,         And vocal joys Whose echo is heavns bliss.         O permit me climb When I roost down! The pious soul by night Is akin a clouded sensation whose beams, though said         To shed their light         Under some cloud,         Yet are higher up,         And reflect and move Beyond that dazed shroud.         So in my bed, That c! erementd grave, through sleep, like ashes, hide My lamp and life, both in thee abide.         The poem is about the world and the beauties of it and the Lord watches everywhere all and it a good ruler and his subjects praise him. The idea the poem is giving is that of a soft, kind atmosphere and it feels like in is a warm summertime night or a morning. One can tell the writer is showing his contentment in the earth and wishes to expressage him or herself. The form of this poem is closed because it has the rhyme scheme of ABACBBCB repeating.          other example is as follows, They Are All at rest(p) Into The World Of Light8 They are all gone into the world of light!         And I alone sit lingring here; Their very memory is f contrast and bright,         And my sad thoughts doth clear. It glows and glitters in my cloudy breast,         Like stars upon some grimy grove, Or those pass out beam s in which this hill is drest,         After the solarizes draw confirm. I see them walking in an air of glory,         Whose light doth tramp down on my days: My days, which are at best but dull and hoary,         Mere glimmering and decay. O holy swear! And high Humility,         High as the vault of nirvana above! These are your walks, and you meet showd them me         To harass my nipping love. right, fair Death! The jewel of the just,         Shining nowhere, but in the Cimmerian; What mysteries do lie beyond thy clean         Could man outlook that mark! He hath found some fledgd birds nest may know         At first sight, if the bird be flown; But what light tumefy or grove he sings in now,         That is to him unknown. And nevertheless as angels in some bright dreams         Call to the soul, when man d oth: So some strange thoughts transcend our wonted th! emes         And into glory peep. If a star were confind into a tomb,         Her captive flames must(prenominal) needs abbreviate there; But when the hand that discardd her up, give room,         Shell shine through all the sphere. 8         Henry Vaughan (1622-1695)         Sian Meikle         1997 O Father of eternal life, and all         Created glories under thee! Resume thy olfactory modality from this world of thrall         Into true liberty. all disperse these mists, which place and fill         My perspective still as they pass, Or else remove me hence unto that hill,         Where I shall need no glass.         The form of this poem of ABAB in its rhyme scheme. The writer is public lecture about all of his friends and loved ones going up to heaven and how god is taking care of them and that God wishes t o be there also. The mood of the poem is that of strength and courage and wanting. The way the poem is presended is fire the second lines are all indented and they all rhyme.         Another great example is The Star. The Star9 Whatever tis, whose beauty here under Attracts thee hence and makes thee swarm and flow, And wind and curl, and wink and smile, Shifting thy gate and trickery; cat valiumgh thy close commerce nought at all imbars My present search, for eagles eye not stars, And still the lesser by the best And highest good is blest; Yet, seeing all things that endure and be, pee their commissions from divinity, And t all(prenominal) us duty, I provide see What man may learn from thee. 9         Henry Vaughan (1622-1695)         Sian Meikle         1997 First, I am sure, the subject so respected Is well disposd, for bodies once infected, Depravd, or dead, can have with thee No hold, nor sympathy. Next, the res in it a restless, keen desire And longing for th! y bright and life-sustaining fire, confide that never will be quenchd, Nor can be writhd, nor wrenchd. These are the magnets which so strongly move And work all night upon thy light and love, As beauteous shapes, we know not why, mold and guide the eye. For where desire, celestial, pure desire Hath taken root, and grows, and doth not tire, thither God a commerce states, and sheds His secret on their heads. This is the eye he craves, and who so will But give it him, and resent not, he shall feel That God is true, as herbs odourual surface area Put on their youth and green.         This poem is a delightful example of Vaughans work. The form is AABB and the way he places the indents in the lines give the lines a descending feeling, and it helps the structure of the poem very enquireful to look at. The mood is that of a calm night and soothing, like the hand of god will reach out and touch ones self.         One last example of Vaughans work is Peace. Peace10 My Soul, there is a country afar beyond the stars, Where stands a winged sentry All in force(p) in the wars; There, above noise and danger Sweet Peace sits, crownd with smiles, And One born in a manger Commands the beauteous files. He is thy gracious friend And (O my Soul awake!) Did in pure love descend, To die here for thy sake. If thou canst get but thither, There grows the flowr of two-eyed violet, The rose that cannot wither, Thy fortress, and thy ease. Leave then thy gooselike ranges, For none can thee secure, But One, who never changes, Thy God, thy life, thy cure. The form of the poem is ABABCDCD and the indentations of the lines are every second line. This is one of the few poems Vaughan wrote that was not over 30 stanzas long. He wrote this poem very briefly after his first wife died and he was hoping that her spirit was at peace wherever it was. As usual this poem has a very religious meaning. This next poem is called, The weewee-Fall and I have studied it in-depth. I have chosen to paraphras! e each stanza and also each stanza is numbered and the rhyme scheme is given on the right side, using letters. There is also a split up of information following the poem. 10         Henry Vaughan (1622-1695)         Sian Meikle         1997 The pee-Fall11 1         With what late murmurs through times silent stealth          irrigate rejoins with a crash, but then it flows silently                           A 2         Doth thy transparent, cool, and watry wealth          peeing is cold, and transparent and gives life                                    A 3                  Here streamlined ruination out,                  The water flows and falls The falls                           B 4                   And chide, and call,                  To scold and call                                                      B 5         As if his liquid, loose retinue stayd         If this water, who follows a high ranking person stayed                  C 6          burbotring, and were of this unconscionable place afraid;         The water is afraid to fall from the unconscionable of the ledge, lingering         C 7                  The common pass                  The common place                                                      D 8                  Where, clear as glass,                   Water is clear as glass      !                                        D 9                  All must descend                  All water must fall                                                      E 10                  Not to an end,                  But not to end                                                               E 11         But quickend by this deep and rocky grave,         Quickened to fall down into a death                                             F 12         Rise to a drawn-out pass more bright and brave.         To continue a voyage to a more wonderful future                           F 13                  Dear stream!

At first I was looking for a poet who wrote fantasy lawsuit poetry, but when I found Henry Vaughan I knew I had to do him. The way he ties in rel igion and emotions he expresses through his poetry, one can always tell what kind of mood he is in and the poetry can sometimes even put one into that kind of mood. The depth of his poetry is so amazing that if one sits reading his poetry one could hear his pen writing on the paper.
