POEM


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 friends 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.


John Donn
