NO MAN IS AN ISLAND
No man is an island,
entire of itself;
every man is a piece
of the continent,
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 man or of thy friends
or 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...
(John Donne)
