(Edmund Kerchever) 1866 1954 Chambers, Edmund Kerchever Chambers, Sir Edmund Kerchever Poems of Henry Vaughan, Silurist, Volume II E-text prepared by Susan Skinner, David Cortesi, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team (http://www.pgdp.net) "Poems of Henry Vaughan, Silurist, Volume II" by Henry Vaughan is a collection of poetry written in the mid-17th century. As part of a larger body of work, this volume includes various poems, translations, and poetic reflections, often exploring themes of love, nature, and spirituality. The author, known for his mystical and philosophical approach, invites readers into an intimate exploration of human emotion and the natural world. At the start of this volume, Vaughan addresses readers with a letter, inviting "ingenious lovers of poesy" to engage with his work during a time he perceives as unsympathetic to the craft of poetry. He acknowledges the challenges and imperfections of the world but presents his poetry as a refuge, a "flame" of innocence meant to inspire noble thoughts. His opening poems reflect on themes of mortality, friendship, and the hope for transcendence beyond earthly experiences, setting a contemplative backdrop for the verses that follow.
