L’Engle died Thursday at a nursing home in Litchfield, said Jennifer Doerr, publicity manager for publisher Farrar, Straus and Giroux.

Henry Vaughan:

I saw eternity the other night
Like a great ring of pure and endless light,
    All calm as it was bright,
And round beneath it time in hours, days, years,
    Driven by the spheres,
Like a vast shadow moved in which the world
    And all her train were hurled.
