No man is an island

最近沉思中。拜讀John Donne所著的詩歌,讀到以下一段,也就是海明威《喪鐘為誰而鳴》所引用的片段。

Meditation XVII: 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 any manner of thy friends 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.
