Henry Vaughan

Henry Vaughan (17 April 1621 – 23 April 1695) was a Welsh author, physician and metaphysical poet.
He is chiefly known for his religious poetry contained in ''Silex Scintillans'', which was published in 1650, with a second part published in 1655.〔''Oxford Companion to English Literature'', s.v. Henry Vaughan〕
== Early life ==
Henry Vaughan was born at Newton by Usk in the parish of Llansantffraed (St. Bridget's), Brecknockshire, the eldest known child of Thomas Vaughan (ca.1586–1658) of Tretower, and Denise Jenkin (c. 1593) only daughter and heir of David and Gwenllian Morgan, of Llansantffraed. Although we can be sure of the year of Vaughan's birth from his own testimony, the month and day is not certain.〔"The poet's own testimony is precise about the year of his birth, but there is no evidence about the month and day" Hutchinson 1947, p. 14, citing Martin's first edition, p. 667〕 Vaughan was the elder of twins; his brother was Thomas Vaughan, the hermetic philosopher and alchemist.〔(Powys Literary Links – Henry Vaughan ) BBC mid Wales, 3 January 2006〕
Vaughan could claim kinship with two powerful Welsh families, one Catholic and one Protestant. Their paternal grandfather, William, was the owner of Tretower Court.〔(VAUGHAN family, of Tretower Court ) in Welsh Biography Online, at National Library of Wales. ''William Vaughan's children included THOMAS VAUGHAN (d. 1658), who m. the heiress of Newton in Llansantffraed; Henry Vaughan the Silurist (q.v.) and Thomas Vaughan (q.v.) were their sons.''〕 His paternal grandmother, Frances, was the natural daughter of Thomas Somerset, who spent some twenty-four years in the Tower of London for his adherence to Catholicism〔 As she survived into Vaughan's boyhood, there may have been some direct Catholic influence upon his early nurturing. Vaughan shared a common ancestry with the Herbert family through the daughter of the famous warrior of Agincourt Dafydd ap Llywelyn, the 'Davy Gam, esquire' of Shakespeare's ''Henry V''. He is not known to have claimed kinship with George Herbert, but may have been aware of the connection.
