No Man is an Island​​

​

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.
