from Meditation 17 by John Donne (1572-1631)

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…
