No man is an Island entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the Continent,
a part of the Main;
if 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 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.
