- Title
WALTER CHARLETON AND HENRY VAUGHAN'S `COCK-CROWING'.
- Authors
Linden, Stanton J.
- Abstract
The article focuses on the poem "Cock-Crowing," by Walter Charleton and Henry Vaughan. Students and editors of Henry Vaughan have long recognized the classical, Christian, and specifically hermetic background of the famous solary bird of "Cock-Crowing." Don Cameron Allen, for example, has placed Vaughan's rooster in the mythological tradition of birds sacred to the classical gods and of those associated with the sun and the expulsion of darkness and evil. Since publication of Elizabeth Holmes pioneering study, "Henry Vaughan and the Hermetic Philosophy" much commentary has been devoted to the doctrines of divine seeds, rays and sparks, signatures.
