No man is an Island

For whom the bell tolls - a poem by John Donne

No man is an island,

entire of itself.

Each 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 manner of thine own

or of thine friend's were.

Each man's death diminishes me,

for I am involved in mankind.

Therefore, send not to know

for whom the bell tolls,

it tolls for thee.
