  Herbert Vaughan - LoveToKnow 1911
HERBERT VAUGHAN (1832-1903), cardinal and archbishop of Westminster, was born at Gloucester on the 15th of April 1832, the eldest son of lieutenant-colonel John Francis Vaughan, head of an old Roman Catholic family, the Vaughans of Courtfield, Herefordshire.
Herbert spent six years at Stonyhurst, and was then sent to study with the Benedictines at Downside, near Bath, and subsequently at the Jesuit school of Brugelette, Belgium, which was afterwards removed to Paris.
Vaughan was a man of very different type from his predecessor; he had none of Manning's intellectual finesse or his ardour in social reform, but he was an ecclesiastic of remarkably fine presence and aristocratic leanings, intransigeant in theological policy, and in personal character simply devout.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Herbert Vaughan
Herbert, the eldest born, went to the Jesuit College at Stonyhurst in the spring of 1841, and remained until the summer of 1847.
Vaughan determined to keep the money he had collected in America as a permanent endowment for the college, as a fund for the maintenance of the students; and when the growing numbers of the students made it necessary to build there was nothing for it but to beg again.
Vaughan was always eager to identify himself in every possible way with the public life of the people of Manchester, with every movement for social reform, and every crusade in behalf of temperance, or sanitation, or the improvement of the houses of the working-classes.

Vaughan found himself in Silex Scintillans; even the few successes outside that volume, like The Eagle and the Epitaph on the lady Elizabeth, were written after his conversion.
Recent editors of Vaughan, by their extensive collections of parallel passages, have placed it beyond dispute that the younger writer, in his new-born enthusiasm for “holy Herbert,” modelled himself on the author of The Temple.
After the change in his life, he becomes detached in mind from the ordinary interests and ideas of his times, with which he was in any case out of sympathy, and, as with a true mystic, his thoughts move in a rarer, remoter air.

 The Brownstone Journal
Although Vaughan's verse owes immeasurable debts to Herbert, the themes the later poet borrows are often subtly shifted in a manner that may reflect the different nature of Vaughan's spiritual experience.
Vaughan's invocation of a ''he'' instead of the ''she'' found in Herbert's composition signals to one familiar with both poems the differing perspective of its speaker, although that speaker's identity remains vague at first.
Although Herbert appears to have become apprehensive as to the state of the Church in his final years, his feelings were limited to those of foreboding, as he died some years before the conflict's outbreak.

Herbert also acknowledges the sorry truth of the historic situation: though humankind prompted the need for the Incarnation, fallen beings exacer­bate God's pain by their failure to recognize God's generosity and their indif­ference to his participation in their lives.
Herbert, who invests himself in the Vita Christi throughout The Temple, is troubled by the possibility of forging a different poetic relationship with his confidant as the historic Jesus becomes the Ascended Jesus.
Chapter five traces Herbert's understanding of salvation as it develops from two distinct lines: affliction and joy, heaven as the sanctuary from the suffering that leads the soul to appreciate the sacrifice of the gospel Jesus and heaven as the bliss that fulfills the promises of the Incarnate Jesus.

For Herbert, the Jews served a theological purpose: they were the "proof, and witnesses" of Christianity, and he believed.that any sympathy shown towards them should be predicated on their compliance with the conversionist image that was designated for them by St. Paul and which he borrowed in the last two lines of his poem.
In this respect, the conversion of the Jews was necessary, and Vaughan examined the imminent prospect of the eschaton in "The Dawning" and "The Day of Judgement."[34] However, during the writing of Silex Scintillans II between 1651-1654, the eschaton was not realized, the Cromwellians remained in power, and the Jews did not convert to Christianity.
While Herbert's verse rumbles with an undercurrent of theological and psychological tension, Vaughan's Silex Scintillans addresses the eschatological climax in which that tension finally culminated, a climax that was predicated on the conversion of the Jews.

Vaughan's qualities of "mind, temperament, and poetic technique," as Fogle indicates, may indeed set him off from other poets of the century, but many of the studies have also demonstrated how much he shares widi his age.

 George Herbert
Herbert, the parson and writer of sermons, who takes a set subject or text and then discourses on it, to edify his flock, is often discernible in the argument of a poem.
While his “soul repairs to her devotion” (as he prays), Herbert imagines himself to “intombe” his “flesh” in the church, where he is surrounded by gravestones and memorials (the modern reader might be surprised to find that these are inside the church).
Herbert's technical skill is not in doubt: his poetry is at once elegant and clear; profound without being bombastic or pretentious; vivid and direct.

Each of the poems--John Milton's "Ode: On the Morning of Christ's Nativity" (1629); George Herbert's "Christmas" (1633); and Thomas Hardy's "The Oxen" (1916)--expresses an uncertain yearning for a contemporary sign of God's presence, one as concrete as was the birth of Christ.
Herbert's lyric poem "Christmas" appears in his poetic sequence, The Temple, a collection of religious poems charting a narrator's struggles with a sometimes reticent and punishing God.
Vaughan Williams' quotations from Milton come from the second part of the poem, which is a song delivered to the Christ child by the narrator of the poem.

 Studying the Metaphysical Poets
Vaughan uses imagery almost exclusively from the natural world which is apprehended with a delight notably absent from his perception of most other people.
Herbert argues for plain-speaking, truth (man's real relationship with God, not a pastoral fiction) and simplicity in a poem in which only the final two lines are simple.
Herbert matches Donne for variety in the stanza, but is more aware of the appearance of the poem on the page, as well as the effect on the ear.

 Henry Vaughan Biography | Dictionary of Literary Biography
Henry Vaughan, the major English poet of the Commonwealth period, has been among the writers benefiting most from the twentieth-century revival of interest in the poetry of John Donne and his followers.
Vaughan's early poems, notably those published in the Poems of 1646 and Olor Iscanus of 1651, place him among the "Sons of Ben," in the company of other imitators of Ben Jonson, such as the Cavalier poets Sir William Davenant and Thomas Carew.
Even though Vaughan would publish a final collection of poems with the title Thalia Rediviva in 1678, his reputation rests primarily on the achievement of Silex Scintillans.

In the second stanza, Herbert added that the conversion of the Jews would be effected by the Church before the last "Trump," but the various exclamations in lines 7-8 reveal the distance which he felt still separated him from the eschaton.[
Vaughan hoped for the Jews to convert in order to make possible Christ's second coming: the author of the Epistle noted Vaughan's predication of the eschaton on Jewish conversion, and he selected the poem because it supported his invitation to Ben Israel to convert and "joyne with some of us for a thousand yeares raigne."[
33] For Vaughan, the shepherds' journey at the birth of Christ from the fields to Bethlehem represented the Jews' journey from darkness to faith, and, with reference to Menassah Ben Israel's 1650 call for Jews to settle in England, the proposed journey of the Jews from the European diaspora to a Protestant home.
