Vaughan, Henry (1622–95). Poet and mystic. After two years at Oxford, Vaughan commenced legal training in London but returned home to Breconshire at the outbreak of war in 1642. He began to publish poetry in 1646, but George
Herbert's influence led to rejection of ‘idle books’, and it is for his religious poems that he is now best known.
Silex Scintillans (‘The Glittering Flint’, 1650, Part II 1655) and the prose
The Mount of Olives (1652) reflect his spiritual rapture and fresh creativeness.
