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.
.
(No Man Is an Island, John Donne, 1624)
