NO MAN IS AN ISLAND- John Donne 1573 - 1631

Intire of If'selfe; Every man is a peace of the Continent, a part of the Maine; If a clod bee washed away by the Sea, Europe is the Lesse, as well as if a promontorie were, as well as if a Manor of thy friends or of Thine Oune were. Any Man's Death diminishes Me, because I am involved in Mankinde. And therefore never send to know for whom the Bell tolls; it tolls for Thee.
