I am involved






.
 


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 manor 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.



–John Donne
