Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions
John Donne: Meditation XVII
No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece
of the continent, a part of the main; if a clod be washed away by the sea,
Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of
thy friend's or of thine own were; any
man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind, and therefore
never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.
