"Man hath still either toys or care: But hath no root, nor to one place is tied, but ever restless and irregular, about this earth doth run and ride. He knows he hath a home, but scarce knows where; He says it is so far, that he has quite forgot how to go there." -- Henry Vaughan
Henry Vaughan (April 17, 1622 ? April 23, 1695) was a Welsh physician and metaphysical poet.

Vaughan and his twin brother, the hermetic philosopher and alchemist Thomas Vaughan, were the sons of Thomas Vaughan and Denise Morgan of 'Trenewydd', Newton, in Brecknockshire, Wales.

Vaughan spent most of his life in the village of Llansantffraed, near Brecon, where he is also buried.
