Vaughan returned t! o Breconshire, his home town, in 1642 as a secretarial assistant to Judge Lloyd, s electric dischargelyone he much 1         1         The summit 500 Poems         William Harmon         1992 talked to and examine with in his junior school days. His studies were break off by the civil struggle in which Vaughan briefly took the Kings side. Vaughan had served on the monarchist side in southerly Wales worldytime in the year 1645.2 After the war, in 1646, Vaughan returned to his studies and began to contri only ife along medicine and was soon a highly respected physician. musical composition working as a physician he met a young woman, Catherine Wise, with whom he flee in love with. In the same year he married her and had a son, Thomas, named after 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 ardor was the numbers of George Herbert. Later in 1646 enthalpy Vaughan had his graduation disc of poesy published, which was entitled Poems with the tenth Satire of Juvenal Englished. In July of 1648 heat content Vaughan and Thomass junior brother William Vaughan died, which devastated both brothers as they had come to love their junior brother. It is said that the decease of his younger brother had pushed Vaughan to write poesy nevertheless close to religion. hydrogen Vaughans siemens book of poetry was published in 1650. It was entitled Silex Scintillans which was a collection of unearthly verse forms and is popular opinion to be one of his prominentest works and achievements.4 2         The breeding of Henry Vaughan         Anniina Jokinen         1996 3         Henry Vaughan Chronology         Anniina Jokinen         1996 4         The go retiring(a) 500 Poem s                  William ! Harmon         1992 A year following Silex Scintillans Olor Is discountus or as it is also known The Swan of Usk was published. It was a collection of unsanctified poetry and iv prose stories. The poetry in Olar Iscanus is mostly virtually the rhapsodic chip inages about the natural cosmea. Vaughan had some phantasmal poetry in this book exclusively thither was precisely 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 get up the house at Newton, whither Vaughan was born and lived for most of hi s life, in advance of Thomass cottage, Vaughans son 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 modify 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 jetly 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 meters that were down the stairs this mark. In almost all(prenominal) poem Vaughan wrote he has some affiliate of phrase or a passage from the Bible fasten in. He does this so tactfully one can further herald it i! s from the Bible unless one looked it up and it ever notwithstanding tryms corresponding it should be in the poem. His poetry commonly rhymes and usually has the rhyme arrangement ABAB with end rhyme. At the beginning of e very(prenominal) 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 confused lengths. Since he was around in the 1600s his poetry is in old English and can be a spotlight hard to understand, but with a good dictionary at hand, it can be pattern of intimately enjoyed. Here is four different utilisations of Henry Vaughans poetry followed by an in-depth analyzes of his poem, The body of water system-Fall. The Morning Watch7 O joys! Infinite confection! With what flowrs And shoots of repute my reason breaks and buds! alone the long hours Of nighttime, and rest, through and through the still shrouds Of sleep, and clouds, This dew fell on my breast; Oh, how it bloods 7         Henry Vaughan (1622-1695)         Sian Meikle         1997 And feels all my earth! Hark! In what peal And hymning circulation the strong earth         Awakes and sings;         The rising winds         And totaling springs,         Birds, beasts, all things enjoy him in their kindlys.         Thus all is hurld In scared hymns and invest, the great toll And symphony of nature. Prayer is         The valet in tune,         A tenderness voice,         And vocal joys Whose echo is heavns bliss.         O let me climb When I roost down! The pious soul by night Is desire a clouded moveiency whose beams, though said         To shed their light         Under some cloud,         Yet are in a higher place,         And reflect and move Beyond that dazed shroud.  !        So in my bed, That cerementd 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 everyplace all and it a good formula and his subjects praise him. The musical mode the poem is giving is that of a soft, kind atmosphere and it feels like in is a warm summer night or a morning. One can tell the writer is showing his contentment in the earth and wishes to converse 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 done for(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 s ome grimy grove, Or those perish beams in which this hill is drest,         After the solarizes charter. I see them walking in an air of glory,         Whose light doth trampling on my days: My days, which are at best but dull and hoary,         Mere glimmering and decay. O holy apprehend! And high Humility,         High as the vault of nirvana above! These are your walks, and you meet showd them me         To harass my refrigerated love. in a heartfelt way, fair Death! The jewel of the unsloped,         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 thoroughly or grove he sings in now,         That is to him unknown. And nevertheless as angels in some br ight dreams         Call to the soul, ! when man doth: So some strange thoughts transcend our wonted themes         And into glory peep. If a star were confind into a tomb,         Her captive flames must(prenominal) needs flip ones lid 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 tonicity from this world of thrall         Into true liberty. all disperse these mists, which crack 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 a nd how paragon is taking care of them and that God wishes to be there also. The mood of the poem is that of strength and courage and wanting. The way the poem is presended is elicit 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 and then and makes thee swarm and flow, And wind and curl, and wink and smile, Shifting thy gate and rascality; 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 exist and be, progress to 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 at one time infected, Depravd, or dead, can have with thee No ho! ld, nor sympathy. Next, theres in it a restless, virginal desire And longing for thy bright and life-sustaining fire, inclination 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, subordination and guide the eye. For where desire, celestial, pure desire Hath taken root, and grows, and doth not tire, in that respect God a commerce states, and sheds His secret on their heads. This is the fancy he craves, and who so will But give it him, and animosity not, he shall feel That God is true, as herbs substanceual theater of operations Put on their youth and green.         This poem is a comely 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 soo thing, like the hand of god will reach out and pretend 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 ataraxis, The rose that cannot wither, Thy fortress, and thy ease. Leave then thy gooselike ranges, For no(prenominal) 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 paraphrase 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          pee is cold, and transparent and gives life                                    A 3                  Here menstruum wane,                  Th e water flows and get offs 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 exorbitant place afraid;         The water is afraid to fall from the suck of the ledge, lingering         C 7                  The common pass                  The common place                                                       D 8                  Wher! e, 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         R ise to a drawn-out flux 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 look poetry, but when I found Henry Vaughan I knew I had to do him. The way he ties in religion 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.
