No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main; no man is an island , alone in the sea; everyone is like a little piece of earth, connected to form the whole land. 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: In one corner, this is like a headland, and like a manor, whether it's yours or your friend's. 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.
Whoever dies
is a part of me dying
because I am included in the concept of being human.
So
don't ask for whom the death knell is tolling, the
death knell is tolling for you.
