[edit] Bartleby.com
Why is this link interspersed in the article? Is it supposed to be a 'cited reference' or an advertisement? Im-Mersion 15:51, 25 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Birthyear?
ODNB has 1621 rather than 1622, as does the page for his twin Thomas Vaughan (philosopher) (though the quotation given there in support of the year is unreferenced) Dsp13 12:44, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Conversion of the Jews?
Why on earth is there so much attention paid to this subject, which isn't even really all that prominent in Vaughan's poetry? It seems especially odd considering that the most famous reference to it occurs without question in Marvell's To His Coy Mistress, but the idea isn't mentioned on the Marvell page, just as Marvell is never mentioned on this one. If someone wants to draw out and elaborate on a specific theme from Vaughan's poetry, his concern with nature and childhood are far more traditionally significant and historically original choices. My god these poetry pages need work! (No offense.) (Eeesh 00:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC))
On second thought I just removed the section, since it seems clear enough to me now that it must have been a random interpolation by an earlier editor. Perhaps a book report or summary or something equally pathetic and unnecessary. (Eeesh 00:42, 8 June 2007 (UTC))
