The Tolling Bell -- A Devotion
by John Donne
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 promentory were, as
well as if a manor of thy friends or of thine own; 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.
