No man is an island - excerpt from Donne's MEDITATIONS

 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.
